The sun rises over the fields, casting a golden glow over the rows of swaying soya plants. The air is filled with the sweet scent of the ripening beans, and the soft rustle of the leaves as the villagers work to bring in the harvest.
At the helm
of the cart, the boy stands tall and proud. He guides the bulls with a steady
hand, leading them down the dirt road towards the village. The animal’s strain
against the weight of the cart, their powerful muscles rippling as they pull
the precious load of soya home.
The boy's
face is alight with excitement and satisfaction. He has worked hard all season
with his family, tending to the fields and watching over the crops as they
grew. Now, as the harvest comes to a close, he takes great pride in the fruits
of their labor.
As the cart
trundles down the road, the boy is surrounded by the sights and sounds of the
harvest. Children run and play, their laughter ringing out across the fields.

Women hurry back and forth, carrying water from the nearby boreholes to quench
the thirst of the laborers.
The village
is alive with activity as the people work together to bring in the sheaves. The
threshing of the soya is a time-honored tradition, one that marks the end of
one season and the beginning of another.
As the cart
reaches the village and the boy unloads the soya plants, he can't help but feel
a sense of accomplishment. He knows that the hard work and dedication of the
past season has paid off, and that the harvest will provide for his family for
many months to come.
This is the
story of the harvest, of bringing in the sheaves and of the hardworking people
who make it all possible. It's a story of tradition and community, of pride and
satisfaction, and of the ever-changing cycle of life in the village.
