the old ways

the farmer has a big farm 

and he needed someone to help with the work 

and the farmer's son runs a shop in the city 

that the son owns half of and the farmer owns the other half 

the farmer went to the city with his wife 

to sell meat and flour 

to the shops in the city 

in the city the farmer saw a man 

that looked like he needed some work 

so the farmer tried to talk to the man 

but the man moved with the crowd 

and was difficult to contact 

but the farmer's wife saw a girl in one of the shops 

that the man sometimes seemed to talk to 

so the farmer's wife went to ask that girl 

if the man that the girl knew wanted to work on a farm 

the farmer and his wife slept in the city for the night 

and in the day the farmer's wife talked to the girl again 

and the girl explained to the farmer's wife 

that the man already worked for the farmer's son 

doing things that needed to be done in the city
