The Harvest

A misshapen farmer was ploughing his vegetations with his aged carabao, whilst his wife laundered the heap of silk fabric they had used in their daughter’s wedding. He was an unsightly man, with a mountain rested on his back. His hands were crooked, that similar of his poultry, and his skin scaly as that of a snake’s. Nonetheless, he had a heart of pure gold.

The rain poured down one evening and the disadvantaged family’s house, with a thin roof punctured by the strong gusts and sharp acid rain, was left struggling through the hurricane. That thin roof which had shielded them from the sun’s bright smirks; that wooden pole which had held up their prides and honor; and those metal casseroles which had cooked them good food, all was taken by the storm.

And tomorrow was harvest day.
