In 1902 Texas, thirteen-year-old Horace goes to work on old Soll's farm to earn enough mon【ZiYuanTun.Com】ey to buy a headstone for his father's grave. Unfortunately for Horace, Soll's senility, ill health, and obsession with the convict labor he uses to work the farm, make it unlikely that Horace will ever be paid the twelve dollars and fifty cents Soll owes him for six months work. 译文(2): 1902年，13岁的霍勒斯到老索尔的农场工作，以赚取足够的钱为他父亲的坟墓买墓{资源屯-ziyuantun.com}。对贺拉斯来说不幸的是，索尔的衰老、健康状况不佳以及对他用来在农场劳动的囚犯劳动力的痴迷，使得贺拉斯不太可能得到索尔欠他六个月劳动所得的12美元50美分的报酬。
