Rice is growing, green and tall. Or at least in some places. This is the year of devastating floods and much of the rice has drowned. What do people do when they don’t have rice? I’m not quite sure.
Rice is growing green and tall. That is, if it can survive. Anything can grow green and tall if given the chance, if not choked off at the roots or smothered at its tips.
If people know that rice can grow green and tall, it really takes someone hideous to cut it early, dry it and sell it for private profit as pig feed.
On the other hand, the desire for an easy buck is easy to explain. What could possibly motivate someone to snip roots or smother leaves just for the sake of doing so? Can they be forgiven because they don’t know, even if it’s their chosen profession to raise rice?
I’m searching for a place where rice can grow because I am convinced that all students can grow green and tall.
