Copra

The other day Jonathan went to visit this man, Frank, and learn about how he makes a living. These things on the ground are coconuts which Frank harvests, cuts into pieces, and puts them on top of this big oven to smoke until the coconut is completely dry. Once the coconut is dry he bags up the pieces and sells the bags in town. They call it copra and about a 50 lb. bag might yield him $20.00. It is a lot of work for little pay.
