I was looking at a piece of land, a lot, by the side of a road. The lot was in the form of a rectangle perhaps fifteen meters wide and ten meters in length. A fence was on the three sides not fronting the road. Other similar lots were on both sides. There appeared to be an alley about a meter wide on the back side of the lot, and another similar lot on the other side of the alley.

I was now thinking of buying the lot, but was still unsure. It looked as if animals used to be raised on the lot. It looked as if there was a tree on the lot, but the lot still wasn't pretty. And the lot was so tiny and pressed in between the other lots. Still, I wanted to buy a piece of land, and this looked like a good one to buy.

Two women arrived and also began examining the land. They also appeared interested in buying it. One of them carried a small instrument with which she was able to measure the moisture of the land. I didn't understand why she would want to measure the moisture in the land, but she certainly seemed interested in what she was doing.

I didn't think they wanted to speak with me, but finally I asked them about the instrument. I was surprised when the woman with the instrument answered me in a friendly way, and began explaining to me how the instrument worked.

I was walking in a residential section of a city. I had a map and was searching for a section of the city where there were no houses, because I wanted to buy a piece of land without any houses on it. I saw on the map that there was another smaller city inside the city where I was. I wanted to avoid that area because it was probably overpopulated. I wanted an area where there were no houses.
