The local kids favourite past time: 

watching the grumpy, weird white man with one arm, now doing farm work

This reminds me of my Anthropology professor who studied raindances and gender roles in Tanzania and the village children hadn’t seen a white man with red hair before and he said they were either fascinated or terrified by him. They called him Mr.Lion. They also made fun of him because he sucked at farming.
