In many countries of the world, farmers and their families live in villages and towns. But in the United States, each farmer lives on his own farm, often without any neighbors. American farmers stay on their farm for a week. They don’t have to go from a village to the farm every morning. They go to the nearest town on Saturdays for shopping or on Sundays for a party. The children take buses to large schools. These schools are for the farm families. Some children will walk to school. There are no roads for buses to go for them.
