( bonze;s (priests) visiting the village; to receive ai,ms 
Every day the priests of the convent assemble and then visit the villages which support 
them. They are accompanied by the children of the most prominent men, who consider it an 
honor to wait upon the bonses and to carry the basket in which the gifts, mainly rice, are 
deposited. All Cambodian boys must serve for a certain period, at least three months, in 
the convents of the bonzes.
