A DAY LABOURER

a)  Who is a day labourer?

b)  What are his daily activities?

c)  What are his pleasures and pains?

A day labourer is he who does heavy manual labour in various fields. He is quite known to all. He is to be healthy, strong and stout. He lives with his family in a slum. He gets up early in the morning and goes out in search of work. Then he work hard from dawn to dusk for his employer and gets his wages at evening. Then he goes to market, buys his daily necessaries and returns to is slum. He is always dependant on his employer. When he gets more work, he earns more and then he and the members of his family eat with their heart’s content. Sometimes he and his family go without food if he cannot manage work. However he is in great demand in harvesting season. The life of a day labourer is of great importance, he is very much neglected. He is ill paid and can hardly make both ends. He is not hold in due respect. So we should have soft feeling for him so that he can lead a decent life with dignity.
