00:24You've been missing me.
00:25I've been missing you so much.
00:26My name is Masete Brian, I am a palm farmer and I grow palm trees.
00:36I started growing palm trees when I was about five years old.
00:45I start by adding water, sugar, and then I add the seeds.
00:58After I add the seeds, I let it grow.
01:02The next morning, I start planting the trees.
01:05Once the trees are planted, I check to see if they have eaten.
01:12If they haven't eaten, I put them in a bag and burn them.
01:29It's very strong. The smell just hits your nose.
01:34If they have eaten, I tell them I haven't eaten.
01:39If they have eaten, I tell them I won't get home.
01:42If they have eaten, I tell them I won't shower.
01:44If they have eaten, I tell them I can go to my house and sleep on the floor.
