Harvest Moon: The Story of Jack's Life



This is my story of Jack's life in Mineral Town. Welcome to the show! My name is Noko,

and I'll be your host for the evening! This story is how Jack came to Mineral Town, and how he

found love, as well as a family. With whom who may ask? That is for me to know and for you to

find out! Hopefully, you will like the story enough for you to drop me a review. Thanks for

listening to me ramble, and now for the factory-produced disclaimer.

Chapter 1: Prologue

The mayor walked onto the desolate farm. Thomas shook his head and thought about what

would happen to the farm without the old man to take care of it. Before he had died, Moon Ranch

had two cows, three sheep, and four chickens. Not to mention the rows and rows of turnips, corn,

tomatoes, onions, and even a few pineapples. The animals and remaining vegetables were sold off

to cover the costs of the funeral. Thomas didn't know what would happen to the farm, and the

community. The town depended on the farm for its' main exports. The entire town's economy

depended on Moon Ranch. With no one to take over, Thomas' job would become much harder.

Thomas walked back from the farm to his house. It was the 27th of Winter, and he had to

get the New Year's festival's in order. He ended up stopping at the bar for a drink, though, and

this was unusual because he normally doesn't drink.

"Hi, Thomas! Don't usually see you in here. What can I get you?" Doug, the barkeeper

asked.

"Oh, hi Doug, I guess I'll take a glass of beer." Thomas replied.



"You're still thinking about what to do with the farm, huh? I sure do miss the old man.

He was always so thoughtful. Used to bring me food to make my lunch specials with. He probably

grew the best corn I've ever tasted. What are you going to do with the farm?"

"I guess I'll have to think of something. Someone brought up letting a company build a

strip mall on the property, but that farm has been in the same family for years. I'd hate to see

it destroyed. But if I can't find someone who can manage it, I might not have a choice."

"I remember a relative of his who came here about 15 years ago or so. A little boy,

probably around seven or eight. Maybe it was his grandson! He would be at least 23 by now! Maybe

he would want the farm?"

"Really, you remember a grandson?" Thomas' hoped were really high now. Maybe he could set things

right! "Now I just have to find out where this grandson lives!"

"I thought it was somewhere in New York where the kid was from. You could probably check

the old man's house for an address." Doug said.

" I think I will! I sure hope the kid will want the farm, even if he is a city slicker.

Well, I guess I'll go check for an address. See you later!"

And with that Thomas paid for his drink, and left. He sure hoped that he would be able to

find an address of this kid!
