‘Lencho was an ox of a …

LENCHO worked day and night, tirelessly in his fields. He didn't care about what he would gain or lose, but devoted his entire strength on maintaining his fields and cultivating crops. The line 'Lencho was an ox of a man' symbolises his unending efforts to look after his family; he worked like an 'animal', not affected by any posing adversity. On the other hand, the line 'despite hardships, he knew how to write' depict that, though he was poor farmer, he was educated enough to read and write. It's of common perception that peasants are usually illiterate as they don't have enough opportunities or time to attain useful education. But LENCHO didn't belong to that perception. He was a hard working as well as an educated man, irrespective of his hardships as a poor farmer. Hope this will help you ❤️🙂
