insects, the farmers sprayed their crops with a pesticide, it was very strong
and killed most of the insects, the crops grew well and the farmers were happy.
The next year the farmers had to spray their crops again because some of the
insects which had nod been killed had multiplied. The farmers had to use more
pesticide this time, the crops soon looked good again. After the crops were
harvested the fields were very good
grazing land, Ahmed always made sure his sheep went into the best fields, these
were the fields which had been sprayed with pesticide and the sheep ate a lot
of grass. Soon the sheep began to grow thin and didn’t produce milk, Ahmed
