The rice farmer
by Saoirse McCann
The Sun is setting low, the red sky a welcoming sight;
The farmer stands silently in the fading light.
The fields are watered and planted, the buffaloes are fed;
The only thing he thinks of now is finding home and bed.
A gentle wind is whispering of hope and dreams of life;
Every grain of rice requires such effort and such strife.
Remember, when you sit and eat with family or friends,
All the many hours he works, as his fields he tends.

La Tomatina s festival held on Wednesday towards the end of August in the town of Bunfol in Spain. Tens of thousands of people come from all over the world to fight in a harmless battle where more than of hundred tons of over-ripe tomatoes are thrown in streets.
According to a legend, one day, a small band from the city centre swaggered (趾高气扬地走) through the streets, blowing trumpets. At this time, a group of young people picked up some tomatoes and threw them at the trumpet tubes, and they had a mutual competition to throw tomatoes. This is the origin of the “Tomato War”.
