Children in Scotland might have to walk their dogs after school. In Cambodia it is the job of young boys to look after the cattle.

Kun can be seen picking up the manure from his cows. He puts this on the dung heap.

Manure might be smelly but it is very important. Kun’s family spread it on their fields because it improves the soil and helps Kun's family grow lots more food on their farm.
