　 Then they met two old women, "What are you doing up there, farmer? Can't you see how tired the boy is?" So the farmer got down, and his son rode instead.
　　Next, an old men stopped them and said, "Why are you walking, farmer?  It's too hot for an old man like you to walk today," So the farmer got up behind his son, and they rode on.
Some time later, a young woman passed them, "Why aren't you walking?" she said, "It isn't far to the market. Let your poor horse have a rest." So the farmer, and his son, got down once again.
