text: When I return to the field where Dzemang is working the people soon take another break and the boys go into the field hut to drink tea. That is at quarter past twelve, that is after about one hour of work. I leave them now and turn homewards. Although the trail is fully in the sun it is not hot as there is a strong wind. Already there are some women who carry heavy baskets of taro to the village.
