The farmer

The farmer in Egypt is very simple person and his life related to agriculture because he considers his land like his wife related to him only. Indeed the rural areas now in Egypt became different than the past due to many things happened in the society. But actually there are many places still keep with it's frame from hundreds year. So you can touch the history and the most of old habits and traditions in his behaviour till now. The farmer in Egypt has important role in the Egyptian personality even in the twons because many farmers migrated from rural areas to these towns to learn or to live there. The farmer relalted to his place and you can't describe this relation because it's complicated with everything in this land. In the past his house was not for his family only but for his animals and when you visit his home you can see the heep or the goats play with his children in the middle of his house plus the place for large animals which you can see in specific place . In this place has door which open within his house. In this place you can watch the cow and the buffalo which consider important resource for milk and butter to make cheese. This cheese consider hand made and very health and i think if you eat it you will never forget it.The farmer has three important issues in his life his land,his family and his animals. When you see the farmers in the countryside in Egypt you can feel with hard work and the roughness in their features. Their skin is dark due to they work under the sun in the summer. Their smiles like rocks when you destroy it due to the suffering from everything in their lives. All the time he talks about his land because all grandparents still their efforts and their blood exist in this land . The farmer consider this land is his mother and it gives him the goodness for him and his family. If you ask him why you love this land he will tell you he smells  the smell of sweat fathers and forefathers and feel that their souls inhabit the land. So it's shame if he think for a moment to sell it and leave it.He born from it and he will die on it to see his grandparents again.Always the farmer in Egypt has simple dreams like moment of harvest and find his kids are fine and happy because the focus of his life is his family. Even the animals which help him such as a donkey love him and knows it's way to the home without someone learn it that also the camel you can feel with special friendship between the camel and the farmer so the life in rural area is very simple
