    The poem describes a family returning home after a long search in harsh conditions. Their clothes are soaked and torn, and their bodies marked by scratches and wounds, but they do not show despair. They had been searching day and night through a devastating flood for their son's rare white buffalo, but did not find it. Though they grew up facing hardship, the family members make jokes in the kitchen while preparing cigarettes, demonstrating resilience and strength of character.

    Practice 1
    IN THE MIDST OF HARDSHIP
    At dawn they returned home
    their soaky clothes torn
    and approached the stove
    their limbs marked by scratches
    their legs full of wounds
    but on their brows
    there was not a sign of despair
    The whole day and night just passed
    they had to brave the horrendous flood
    in the water all the time
    between bloated carcasses
    and tiny chips of tree barks
    desperately looking for their sons
    albino buffalo that was never found
    There were born amidst hardship
    and grew up without a sigh or a complaint
    now they are in the kitchen, making
    jokes while rolling their cigarette leaves
