Yes - holidays! In fact there have always been holidays —.in ancient Rome there were more than 150 a year - but a holiday use i to mean simply a day when you didn't work. Now holidaymakers travel to all parts of rue world.

6. Agriculture
In 1724, Jonathan Swift wrote. Whoever makes two blades of grass or two ears of corn grow where only one grew before serves mankind, better than the whole race of politicians. In Europe our farmers have done this. In 1709 whole villages in France died of hunger. Now, in Europe we can't eat all the food we produce. If only the politicians Could find a way to share it with those parts of the world where there is still famine.
