[It's slow going and difficult work even for an adult. The ground is starting to harden as it gets colder, and the early morning isn't a prime time for tilling the fields.
Al waits silently with him, listening to the spade work the dirt, and thinks of his mother's funeral and how the sounds remind him so much of the gravediggers working nearby.
Once Alois is done, kneels down next to him, puts a hand on the small of his back.]
