Scythe

From Simple English Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
A scythe and a sickle.

A scythe (pronounced /ˈsaɪð/, from Old English siðe.[1]) is an agricultural tool for mowing grass or reaping crops. It was replaced by horse-drawn machines and then tractors, but is still used in some areas of Europe and Asia.
