B. The repeated statements "I am the grass" and "Let me work" show the speaker's pride but also his indifference toward the events described.

Step-by-step explanation:

The speaker's repeated assertions of being the grass and the plea to be allowed to work suggest a sense of pride in their role and a dedication to their task.
