As soon as the train left the station, we entered a long, dark tunnel, but then, before long, we began to travel through grassy plains where a herd of cows munched contentedly on the clumps of grass. They enjoyed the juice of the leaves as they fed on the lower branches of a huge peppercorn tree. The farmers were busy, for it was harvest time. They had been working in the fields since early morning. Tomatoes were grown on some farms, but they were not the main product. Our wonderful journey came to an end as the screeching brakes of the train shattered the perfect peace of the little country town. station
