Când agro-mehanikim au terminat avodah basade și s-au pregătit să se întoarcă acasă, la ieșire îi aștepta ceva care i-a lăsat pur și simplu cu gura căscată
Hayom kara lesofu. Echad echad, traktoriim im motoriim roim u-mamrim min hasade harhav, shekol hayom heriach le-teven ve-diesel. Habanim, ayefim aval sameachim, dibru bekesher, heelu bdichot, ukvar dimyu atzman moshevot bmirpeset im kos te ani, o bshlish, yashir larak.
