"I think the ones that are like that make a lot less food than the big ones with machines, though."

"Maybe, but they make enough food for you and your neighbors.

It's not that I want to be a farmer it's just that it's obviously lots better than - this - and I don't see how you got this when you could've had that."

"I dunno. I've never tried being a farmer but I don't know anybody who wants to be one."

"Well I wonder if any of them know what it's like."

"I guess it's probably hard to know what it's like if you've never been one before."

"And if everyone says 'oh farming is horrible just work a job and then you can buy food with your money' then probably lots of people just do that. But it doesn't seem to be very good for them."

"I think farming is also a job and you make money. You just use it to buy stuff that isn't food. And I know you think they could make their own clothes and houses and stuff but I don't think anybody makes everything themselves except for, like, the kid in My Side Of The Mountain."

"I know sometimes you don't but I think it's important that you can."

"I'm not sure if there's anybody here who can."

"Really? But I mostly can, except things that are too dangerous like glassblowing, and I am ten."

" - I don't think you can make everything you need to live."

"Where I'm from everyone can do that."

"You know how to build fires and cook things and build houses and make clothes and make safe toilets and make safe water and make a place to take baths and make toothpaste and soap and grow vegetables and hunt animals and fix yourself if you get sick or hurt?"

"I have only done the parts of building houses that do not involve lifting heavy things, but I could make myself a small house for now because I am small. I know how to make clothes, and soap. You can take baths in a river. What do you mean safe water?"

"I mean water that doesn't make you sick if you drink it. The water from sinks is safe but you can't just drink water from rivers because it could make you sick."

"That doesn't sound right to me."

"Well that's how it is."

"Well I drink from rivers sometimes and I've never gotten sick."

"I think rivers are safe sometimes. It's still water that's really bad. But you can't just go drinking from rivers because if an animal poops in it it'll make you sick."

"I've never heard of anyone getting sick from drinking from rivers."

"Well, it doesn't happen much anymore because we made all the water safe. But you have to pay for it. So if you weren't going to pay for anything you'd have to make your own safe water."

"I think I will just drink from rivers and I bet you it'll be fine."

"Well I think you'll get sick and won't have any money to go see a doctor."

"If you know where a river is we could go check right now."

"I don't think there are any rivers in cities. I guess we could see if the computer knows where any rivers are."
