The Narrow Umbrella | ZAPFIC50 MONDAY (2/19/24) | Prompt: grandfather
For this week's ZAPFIC50 Monday Challenge, the prompt "grandfather" conjured up many images of a stately gentleman surrounded by his family, mostly grandchildren. The word also symbolizes someone aged and matured. This version is often applied to items that came before something new is introduced. A protection can be applied to the item due to its longstanding history. It is with version I structure my ZAPFIC50 Monday challenge in the format created by @felt-buzz that consists of exactly 50 words.
My story is below:
The Farm Bureau meeting spiraled until ranchers stormed out. Joshua stood silent, fuming.
"Why are you upset? Your land is protected," Arthur smiled.
Because I have a grandfather homestead doesn't mean I'm not outraged by the excessive restrictions adopted. New farmers will be unable to operate, thus choking their production.

Para el Reto del Lunes de ZAPFIC50 de esta semana, la palabra "abuelo" evocaba muchas imágenes de un señor señorial rodeado de su familia, en su mayoría nietos. La palabra también simboliza a alguien envejecido y maduro. Esta versión se aplica a menudo a los objetos anteriores a la introducción de algo nuevo. Se puede aplicar una protección al artículo debido a su larga historia. Es con la versión que estructuro mi reto de los lunes ZAPFIC50 en el formato creado por @felt-buzz que consiste en exactamente 50 palabras.
A continuación mi historia.
El paraguas estrecho
La reunión de la Farm Bureau se convirtió en una espiral hasta que los rancheros salieron furiosos. Joshua se quedó en silencio, echando humo.
"¿Por qué estás enfadado? Vuestras tierras están protegidas", sonrió Arthur.
Que tenga un abuelo granjero no significa que no esté indignado por las excesivas restricciones adoptadas. Los nuevos agricultores no podrán operar, lo que ahogará su producción.

Such a gentleman, thinking if the young Farmers and how they would survive.
Your zapfic is though-provoking and packs a punch! Really, farmers face many challenges and I wonder why we placed unnecessary restrictions in their way when the end products are for our benefits. Or maybe it's a way to encourage more production of processed foods. 😄 Very well-written! Take care and have a great day. !LADY

Restrictions come in various ways for a myriad of reasons. Old-fashioned farming is discouraged, while new innovations to feed the masses are heralded. I just don't think it's all about supply and demand.
I appreciate your lovely words for my flash fiction story and your support. Take care.
