An old man raises cows for a living. He feeds the cows, shovels their dung, and takes them to pasture up on the mountainside. But he is blind, so he follows the cows' moos to guide him. Time and time again, his poor eyesight causes him to fall off the bridge leading to his house. He regularly spits out enough phlegm to fill up a spittoon. This year he must purchase some calves, but prices are going up. The blind old man has a lot on his mind.
His wife, who just turned 72, raises goats. Year in year out for the past 32 years, she's returned home after nightfall. She can't prevent her goats from grazing in the neighbors' fields, nor can he ward off the wild dogs that stalk the goats. He may have to sell his flock.
Two years later, the goat pen lies in disrepair and the goats are gone. As are the cows, sold when the village went touristy (there was fear that the dung might put off the tourists). But the old man and his wife now raise pigs, they have a bumper crop of potatoes and the old man is happy. He'll be busy up in the mountain as usual, just as he has always been.
