all through the year any more got up in the trucks the more money |
When I was a child. I lived on a fruit farm. We had lots of pear trees and some apple trees. We had to help my father .
In late summer, the fruit was ready to be picked. At that time of year, weat 4:30 in the morning, started picking at 5:00 and carried on working until late afternoon. My mother brought lunch for us. At the end of the day, we were all tired and sleepy!
My father got some workers to help pick the fruit. The more fruit they picked, they were paid. Lots of them loved eating free fruit. However, in the beginning, they would eat so much fruit that they would not want to eat for a long time!
At night, the trucks took the fruit to the markets to be sold. Sometimes we rode to the city. For farm boys, that was a very exciting time!
