Beschrijving
Make-believe Eating; Make-believe Work. A man (farmer) and his farmhand work in the field. At noon, other people who are also working near by stop for a rest and eat. The farmer stops working but tells his farmhand, “We will only act as if we are eating.”
When they resume work, the farmhand swings the scythe back and forth without cutting anything. The farmer turns around and asks him what he thinks he is doing. The farmhand says he is acting as if he is working [J1511.1].
