It's harvest time in Askole. Sekina helps with the winnowing and threshing of the wheat. Everyone in the village grows wheat. Sekina's family has fields scattered around the village. During the year, she goes with her cousins and sisters to weed the fields. They carry small baskets to collect the weeds in, then later feed them to the goats and cow. Nothing gets wasted. Yet Sekina really likes the harvest time because there are lots of fun things to do. They can throw the dry wheat down a hill and make a slippery slide. She has so much fun sliding down the hill on her stomach!
