Description / content note
-
This district is plagued, they say, by men who come home from employment eleswhere, eat the food of their relatives until it is all finished without doing a stroke of work to help, and then disappear from pastures new, leaving their families starving. "The day we pounded earth, pounding it for the bearded. Those who come in putting their beards in the food." (i.e. doing no work to produce it, but eating it only). The meaning behind this song is that the lazy men desearve only pounded earth, not good grain to eat. Pounding song with mortar and three pestles
