The young lady is holding two or three ears of corn in her hands, which she has chosen from a selection on display on a white cloth spread on the floor, and she is pointing at kernels of different colours, mentally counting them up. "Do you think this one is good enough? Can we win with this one?" - she asks to another girl, who is producing more cobs from a large bag, and adding them to the collection.
