That day in the trench

Article Abstract:

A 16-year-old lad initially disliked having to labor heavily under the hot sun as a carpenter's aide, a job which his father found to keep him busy for the summer. When summer ended, however, he was not only 20 lbs heavier as he was also prouder of himself and thankful to his father for having taught him how to be a man.
