"Maybe he just didn't pay attention."
"Well, he is indeed 'lucky' then, in such a vast world, to actually end up falling headfirst into a fertilizer barrel."

The village was lively tonight. Looking up, you could see the glaring lights on the simple stage, and the noisy shouts and someone yelling into a microphone.
It was said to be a village custom to gather and do activities at this time, to pray for a good weather in the coming year.
The village head had specifically invited the show's crew to visit - an event that would last for several days.
George Quach thought it would be a good opportunity to record some more material and so, along with most of the staff, took the equipment over. Hilary Quin and Owen Hanson also took some children to join in the fun. Even the usually event-shunning James Landon unusually ventured out of his room to seek inspiration elsewhere.
