in spite of the flood disaster, a good harvest is still in sight.

　　yesterday we went to a nearby village to help the peasants get in the crops. we left our school early in the morning. it took us half an hour to reach the village. as soon as we got there, we joined the peasants in their harvesting work. they taught us how to cut rice, and how to tie it. it was in the fields that we had our lunch. after lunch, we had a short rest. we were fascinated by the beautiful scenery of the countryside. it got dark when we returned home. we were very tired, but we felt very happy.
