Scarecrows stand guard, flapping their ragged clothes in the breeze. Children tramp in the fields, and alongside brooks, trying to catch fish and shrimps, all parts of a leisurely, care-free portrait of the country around Ta Hsi.
但出了鎮中心，鎮外一片片綠油油的田野，間有鷺鷥、麻雀等飛鳥盤旋其上，稻草人身上的衣衫迎風飛舞，而農家的孩子伏在田邊、泉間，捉魚、摸蝦，又是一番逍遙自在、與世無爭的景象。都市、鄉村二者得兼，他們是多麼幸運。
