They plough the fields

Sighted at the Hainan Village that I went to.


Bulls or buffaloes?
Apologies for my ignorance
Great helpers they are
They plough the lands

I heard that they leave for the fields
Early in the morning
Working hard in the day
Return just before dusk

Heard that a few households would share one buffalo
A prized animal
It has the strength of five, six men
Working the fields to cultivate the lands
