The stone roller

Hot 3691 views. 2014-11-9 22:24 | Recently, exercise, because, stone, money

Recently I began to yearn for the stone rollers in my native village because it costs too much here to grind the corn and the sorghum into flour mechanically. We used to grind grain with the stone rollers when we lived there. They could both save money and offer a good chance of exercise. Moreover, this pastoral scene was fascinating when recalled today. The country people never took any exercise intentionally as the townspeople. Their daily work was the best form of exercise. They lived in poverty but always hopefully. They also envied the townspeople whom they called people living outside. But they wouldn’t realize the spiritual boredom of these wealthy outside people.

I am sorry that I have not fully understand your words. There are few words that i must learn by dictionary. we caused  the stone roller by man-made in the past in my hometown. as the time gone, many machines are made for instead of man-made. This is high efficiency. But the waste is not well as man-made. I like that not only the waste, but also the pastoral scene.
