  • Description: In the background can be heard the shrill continous noise of the cicada beetles in the trees nearby. "The man who gives you a child is better than one who only gives you money. Prostitutes are bad. Money is better than women. If you buy a bicycle you can carry milk to market." Here again the penetrating sound of the cicada beetles or crickets compete with the music.
