| This is a threshing machine which we work by stepping on. We asked "What is the name of this machine?" A man said, “I don’t know the name.I used to call this machine 'ashibumi(stepping on)' ." |
At once we worked 'ashibum' and thresh. Each of us lined up with a sheaf of rice in our hand."We want to work the machine quickly!" |
We worked a revolution part with wire stepping on. What Attsu kept in mindwas "with a constant speed." |
| We pushed our work actively on a fine autumn day. You can see the paddy fields where we growed rice plants. They looked brown because we didn’t scatter straws.
|
After we removed hulls, we sieved.Thus we removed straw wastes. We came to take our share with the work naturally. |
Ayappe said,"I became excited." They was unfastening hulls which they couldn't had removed with a threshing machine. |
