Each Generation must reap its own harvest. The fields are now ripe. Every family has known prodigal sons who disgraced their parents' name and wasted the family fortune with wild and dissolute living. This has happened in every generation. Usually such prodigal sons cause shame to their parents by dabbling in Alcohol, drugs and lewd sexual behavior. .
Every farmer knows that the harvest is the busiest season of the year.
All the labor and care that has been lavished on the crops for months can be lost in the few days of harvest. Generally harvest time is very short and requires all hands to work, often from dawn to dusk, to gather in the crops. At any time the fall rains could come and destroy the precious harvest. Harvrest is crisis time on the farm. . For a farmer to have a lazy, indolent son sleeping all say during harvest would be the height of shame for the family.
