  3. Be A Scribe Let me also expound to you the situation of the peasant, that other tough occupation. [Comes] the inundation and soaks him..., he attends to his equipment. By day he cuts his farming tools; by night he twists rope. Even his midday hour he spends on farm labour… Now the scribe lands on the shore.He surveys the harvest. Attendant are behind him with staffs, Nubians with clubs. One says [to him]: "Give grain." "There is none." He is beaten savagely. He is bound, thrown in the well, submerged head down. His wife is bound in his presence. His children are in fetters. His neighbours abandon them and flee. When it is over, there is no grain. Lichtheim, M. Ancient Egyptian Literature ,University of California Press, 1976, I, pp. 168-173. http://nefertiti.iwebland.com/farming/index.html
