The past two months have passed in this manner. It's hard to believe how swiftly these two months have gone by. Certainly, I must focus on my own busyness, find a glimmer of assurance in the light, and take steps to stand on my own feet so that I can be self-reliant as I have been before.
Although my house is officially a three-story building, it's now completely shattered. A week ago, I managed to fix part of it. The room on the top floor, where I rarely set foot for many years after my mother passed away, is now secured with a padlock. However, quite some time ago, I began using that room to create pottery, my newfound passion.
Two months ago, I planted seeds for the Elves in the same garden where I had planted them before. Now, those seeds have undergone changes, and I'm contemplating their purpose. As spring nearly ending, the intense heat summer will return to the end of the season. Since I have some funds available now, I plan to buy rice seeds so that I can plant them and reap the harvest despite the challenges of the rainy season due to the slight depression in my land.
To describe my self-reliance, each acre of land here requires my attention. Only during the monsoon season does it remain idle. Although it's not mine-my father purchased it using government funds several years ago-I don't know exactly when. However, in my childhood, I used to accompany him here to help, but now I manage it alone.
Despite my current circumstances, I'm content. I work throughout the day and can afford to have a hearty meal at night. What more does an ordinary person need in life? While mowing the green grass with the cuttings, my friend Dumbo came to me on his donkey with a bundle of sacks with. I smiled at the top of the land where he stood. Although I also sent him to fetch a few sacks from my house so that I could carry them home in haystacks.
"Are you going to work the whole day here, dude? Shouldn't you finish the tasks in Odamenth's house as well? You seem so focused on the land that it feels like evening will fall right here"
"I was just waiting for your arrival to gather the plants and head back toward the house together." I glance back at Dumbo as he hands me a bundle।" I roll my eyes and reply as Dumbo throws a sack at me as I fill it with green grass for the Elves. My horse was in the open spotting me and he quickly came up to 3'2 and raised his front legs in glee.
Elves realize that it is meant for him. Dumbo tied them to his donkey as I tossed the bales up in the sack and I mounted my horse, half covered in mud, to head for home. Although there were five sacks in all, I gave him one sack for Dumbo's arse.
