The girls sat listless, leaning against each other. The long fingers of the sun touched their
foreheads
Presently we saw a curious thing. There were no clouds, the sun was going down in a limpid
gold-washed sky. Just as the lower edge of the red disc tested on the high fields against the

plough had been left standing in the field. The sun was sinking just behind it. Magnified across
the distance by the horizontal light, it stood out against the sun was exactly contained within
the circle of the disc; the handles, the tongue, the share-black against the molten red. There
it was, heroic in size, a picture writing on the sun
Even while we whispered about it, our vision disappeared the ball dropped and dropped un
the red tip went beneath the earth. The fields below us were dark, the sky was growing pole
and that forgotten plough had sunk back to its own littleness somewhere on the prairie.
