It was just a husk, an empty shell, worth nothing, containing nothing, meaningless. |
The outside husk or exocarp is smooth and very tough, green to reddish brown becoming grey as the fruit matures. |
When grain is threshed the seeds are separated from the husk and the rest of the ear. |
But in reality, Husk was going to further alter the cows into the guise of missing oxen, receiving bounties without the hard labor. |
After the husk is removed, the rice is milled to remove the bran and the germ or embryo. |
Her laugh wasn't cruel in tone, but it cut through Husk like a scalpel, withering his wick even further. |
