Listen and read



Just outside of the Lower Ring, between the Outer Wall and the Inner Wall of the city, is the Agrarian Zone, a large underdeveloped area that consists of wide open plains of land, used mainly for agricultural purposes. Along with its vital wildlife and crop resources, the Agrarian Zone functions as a massive land buffer between the Outer Wall and the Inner Wall, where all of the Ba Sing Se residents dwell, widening the gap between invaders and citizens if perchance the Outer Wall was ever breached.This area in the city houses many farms belonging to citizens, mostly of the Lower Ring, who live behind the Inner Wall and travel outside to tend to the land every day.

The Agrarian Zone served as a station for earthbender rebellions following Ba Sing Se's capture. The Order of the White Lotus had a camp here prior to the arrival of Sozin's Comet. The Agrarian Zone is also the location of the new Ba Sing Se Zoo.

This is the home of our first " Hero. "



Tubbz: Unghhhh....

Older man: Ha Ha! C'mon son! How do you expect to lose this weight if you don't want to bask in this wonderful heat and pick the potatoes from our garden! You'll never get a girlfriend being this lazy!

Tubbz: Y-Yeah! Sure thing dad! Mhm... I hear you loud and clear. Icantrememberthelastimeyouhadagirlfriendthough....

Older Man: What was that!?

Tubbz: Nothing pops! Hey, how am i doing now?

Older Man: There ya go! Pick up the pace! Maybe you'll be able to start pulling the ladies like your dad Shinta yeah!?



The Elderly man would have given his son a thumbs up, showing that he'd been missing plenty of his teeth. His wrinkled skin resembled something of a raisin. He was old enough to be the young man's grandfather, let alone his father. But it was true enough. Shinta was Tubbz dad. His only living family member. ( That he knew of. )

Tubbz: Oh great... yea dad. Just like you. Hey, why can't I use my earth bending to do this again?

Shinta: Because! You lardhead. Earth bending comes from the strength of the body! And if your body is flabby and weak, then your earth bending will be to! Work harder and maybe i'll let you use your earth bending for this one day!

Tubbz would sigh, dropping his head in defeat.



Tubbz: Sure thing dad...

'Well if your reading this far. I can tell you're going to be here for the long haul. My names Tubbz. My real name? Well, that's a bit irrelevant at the moment. No one calls me by it anyways. My dad and I work as Patatoe farmers outside of Ba sing Se. Eh, its alright really. You know from the occasional bandits that are brave enough to try to steal from us. Dad used to be a Pro-Bender in his younger days though. So most of the bandits get beat up before we even have to call a single guard. " Shinta The Steel Bolder " is what they called him. He reminds me every day about how great he was. I'd be telling you a lie if I didn't say his stories were true though. But you know, dads so content with just being here for the rest of our lives. But for me? I want bigger things... '



'Much bigger things.... '

'Republic city type things.... '

Shinta: C'mon son! Put some back into it yeah? We need to have 50 crates ready for the cities pick up today! And your slower then winter solstice!

Tubbz: Hey! Look! Im working as fast as I can here!

Tubbz would have sighed, placing his hands on his hips before he tilted his head up, staring up at the sun as it glared down over his chubby form.

Tubbz: Gotta... be more to life than this.
