The work was arduous and taxing, demanding great effort from each of them.
Despite the challenges, they were all in good spirits.
One of the taller men, munching on his takeout, exclaimed with a grin, “Hang in there,

Another man mumbled, “While I was fretting over nothing worthy of being reported,
