Teacher: Nnamdi

At our school, we had time to share about our special experiences during vacation.

Some were wonderful, others were boring..

When I was listening, I felt a little gloomy, because I had nothing special to share,  just my  daily routine..

Don't worry about my gloomy emotion. It  couldn't stay in my mind  for a long time because of my two sons..

Our principal brought some plums and tomatoes which he raised on his farm to us.

Frankly, they were flat, the taste was not so good...

According to his words, he always raises them without any chemicals and artificial fertilizers, so their look and taste were not good.

But I think they were good for our health.

Actually he enjoys planting some vegetables and fruits on his farm.

He used to visit my nursing room to be cure his hands that were hurting from working on his farm.

The skin of his hands got tough and harder, and there was a laceration.

I ordered him to keep putting  gloves on while he was working on his farm, but he has naver put on  his gloves.

He said he loved his hands without gloves..

What do you think of his opinion?
