I was buying the story until this ...
I thought my life at home was simple, but watching these short-statured miners sleep in the same tiny bed, and drink from the same tiny cup, made me appreciate the joy of true simplicity. At times it was approaching 60 degrees Celsius in our sleeping quarters, but these tiny men took the heat in stride, smiling and joking that if the heat didn't kill them, it would only make them stronger miners.
Didn't read it yet but I will take a look, 60 degrees Celsius is hot enough to cause hyperthermia from what I know.
