Mud covered walls and a thatched roof cover the earthen, well-swept floor, packed hard from many generations of feet packing it hard. A fire burns brightly in the dim interior and a wood covered window is thrown wide to let the smoke escape. A few modest woven chairs and a fur skin rug are around the hearth, and a beaten copper pot hangs over the fire, simmering. The smell of mutton stew fills the room.

son
I am the son of a poor farmer.  I help my father work the fields.  I am unable to go to school because I have to help my family.
My day was fine. Just worked in the fields like I do everyday. I wish my father could provide more for us and I could go to school We have worked this land for generations.  It provides us with food and the extra money we make keeps us in this house! School is for fancy boys not down to earth men. Sorry I want to educate myself so maybe one day I can become something more than a poor farmer like my father. And what are you wanting to try and become?  Farming is honest work. I am trying to become a doctor so I can help everyone in this world A doctor!  Those leach lovers? You think poking and prodding a person is better than tilling the fields!! You need to get those dreams out of your head.  You will take over the farm after me and raise your own family here. Is the stew done yet father Yes.  Let me get you and me a bowl and get more comfortable.  Your sister there is happy with her place in life. thats because you have brainwashed her. I want to be more than a poor farmer. But i still love you poor father I love you too son.  I will make you a deal.  I will give you this one gold coin I have saved up and if you can use it to make enough money you can go to school. thanks father. I will use this and make you happy and proud!! If you can acheieve that I will be proud.  I will have your sisters husband when she is married take over the farm
