    The passage describes a man named Dikaiopolis working hard in the field. He is digging in the field and removing stones, which is a long and difficult task. Though he is strong, he works for a long time and becomes very tired under the hot sun. He rests briefly in the shade of a tree before lifting himself up to continue working. Finally, the sun sets and Dikaiopolis walks home instead of continuing to work.
