Chapter1--------farming life

Hey! This is the story of my farming life… well, I'm still in the city, waiting for a reply from the Old Man…. But he's not replying! By the way, the name's Daniel. So, I decided to check on the old man that lives in Mineral Town. I called the dock and they said that the next travel for mineral town is in an hour! I hurriedly packed up my bag, and got to the dock…I got onto the boat, but a weird hag stopped me.

Weird Hag: hang in there! I need your ticket!

Daniel: AKK! MY TICKET!

I shuffled through my bags and found it. I gave it to her and she let me pass. I was on boat… It was pretty boring watching the sea, so I went into the restaurant. I didn't eat anything, trying not to waste any gold left. I only had 500G anyway...

Intercom: STOPPING AT MINERAL TOWN!

I got off the boat and into the old town… It smelled a hundred years old! I got out of mineral beach, and saw a pack of ladies talking. They called the place Rose Square. One called herself Manna, another Sasha, and the last one, Anna. I ran out of there, and ran through the streets, bumping into a girl. Her name was Popuri.

Popuri: um… Hello. I'm Popuri. What's your name?

Daniel: Daniel. Sorry for bumping into you…

Popuri: oh, it's okay. Where are you headed?

Daniel: To the Fruits Farm.

Popuri: It's right that way! Nice to meet new people around here! Bye now

I ran to the Fruits Farm, worried about the old Man. I came into the farm and gave a halt. Everything looked dead. Millions of weeds grew on the farm, including sticks and rocks. My mouth fell open. Wide open. Then a fat little man came in, calling himself Thomas.

Thomas: What are you doing here? As mayor, I am taking care of this place!

I explained to him everything.

Thomas: Yes… The old Man passed away. He left a note to leave this farm to someone named Daniel. That's you isn't it?

Daniel: Yup.

Thomas: Zack will explain the shipping business!

Thomas left and Zack came into the fruits farm. He led me to a box.

Zack: This is the shipping bin! Put things here and I'll ship it every 5:00 PM, got that! This is almost the only way to make money too! REMEMBER TO SHIP SOMETHING EVERYDAY! Bye now!

SHEEEESH! Zack seemed pretty weird! Along with Manna…. Manna talks too much! So, I'm in control now huh? Well, this won't be easy… THERE ARE NO ANIMALS IN THIS FARM BUT MY DOG COCOA!

I got inside that TINY little house. A note said I can get extensions from a dude named Gotz. I looked at the Calendar. I never kept track on the date… Spring 1 huh? Spring 7 is my birthday… It went:

SPRING

SUMMER

FALL

WINTER

Only four months in each year. I looked at the bed and decided to sleep, for my BIG day tomorrow!

Huh?... I just woke up at 6:00 AM. I went out of my farm and went around town. I went into a marketplace, and someone named Karen went up to me.

Karen: So, you're the new guy huh? Welcome to the marketplace! My dad owns this place. So, I'm Karen. What's your name?

Daniel: I'm Daniel…

Karen: Oh. Wait one second!

Karen went up to her dad, named Jeff. Sasha, was Karen's mother!

Jeff: What!

Sasha: Now, honey… what happened to the kind old person I married?

Jeff: Fine, fine.

Karen: Thanks Dad!

Karen took a bag of grass seeds and handed it over to me.

Karen: Here's a present for the newcomer! They'll help out on the farm! See you later!

Karen walked off. I didn't even get to say Thank You! Oh, well…

I put the bag into my backpack, and went to the house left from the marketplace. I stood in and found Thomas and a guy named Harris lived there! Harris was just a police who checked things around Mineral town.

Thomas: So, Daniel! I forgot to tell you, the old Man said you should find someone to marry before someone else takes away that person!

Daniel: Who are my choices?

Thomas: Karen, Popuri, Mary, Ann, Elli, and the Harvest Goddess.

Daniel: Harvest Goddess!

Thomas: She's a legend and she lives in the pond. Only I have seen her and I'm telling you the secret! Put flowers into the pond and she'll pop out of the pond saying hi! She's one tough person to marry though!

Daniel: Oh… I think I'll go around town to meet the other people.

I think there are still LOTSA people to go! I went to the house left from the mayor's house, and found an old grandma. Her name was Ellen.

Ellen: You must be new! I'm Elli's Grandma. Also Stu's grandma. Elli works at the hospital and Stu is playing with May. I can't get out of this chair because my legs are broken, you see?

Daniel: Oh, I'm sorry! Can I be of any assistance?

Ellen: No, no. Go meet other people in town!

Daniel: okay.

I went into the house left from Ellen's house. It turned out to be the Library. A girl named Mary stood there.

Mary: oh, hello! Welcome to the Library! I'm Mary! Who are you?

Daniel: I'm Daniel.

Mary: Oh! Nice to meet you! You must be the new farmer everyone's talking about! Feel free to read anything you want here!

Daniel: I have to visit other people though. Sorry….

Mary: Oh, I understand! Go on then! Bye Daniel! See you soon!

I went left from the Library, and found Anna lives there, with Basil.

Anna: Hello Daniel! Welcome to my house! Have you met Mary yet? She's my daughter!

Daniel: Oh, I see…

Basil: Hello Daniel! Newcomer aye? Well then, I'll tell you where to get your starting tools… have you seen a chest in you house?

Daniel: Yes…

Basil: That's were all of your tools are.

Daniel: okay! Thanks for the advice! Bye!

I left that house. I went all the way back right from the marketplace, to find the Hospital. Elli worked there with a person named Doctor.

Elli: You must be Daniel! Welcome to the Hospital! Doctor! It's the newcomer!

Doctor: Hello Daniel! Welcome to the Hospital! Need a check up?

Daniel: I'm fine. I need to meet other people too!

Elli: Okay! Come back anytime!

I left that place and went left from the Hospital, to find a Church.

I went inside and found a guy named Carter.

Carter: Hello! You must be the newcomer! Let the Harvest Goddess bless you, newcomer!

I left that place and went down the road. I got to the Inn, that turned out to be a Bar and a Restaurant at the same time! A girl named Ann, and a guy named Doug was there.

Ann: Look Daddy! It's our newcomer! Welcome to the Inn! Dad, make him our special!

Doug: Of course!

They set up the table with expensive food laid out in front of me.

Ann: dig In!

I finished eating and I was heading to the door.

Ann: Don't worry about paying us today! It was free because your new around here!

Doug: Come back and visit any time!

I left the inn and went left from the Inn. There, I found the Aja Winery. There lived Manna and her husband Duke.

Manna: Welcome to the Aja inn! We make Wine here! Need any wine? They are 300G each!

Daniel: No thanks. I just came to visit.

Duke: Oh Yes! You're the newcomer! Please, Manna, give him one free wine!

Manna: Fine.

I got wine and put it into my backpack.

Manna: Sooooooooooooo….. This place is called Aja Winery, because Aja was my daughter! She moved away of course, and Duke spends all night drinking at the Bar and making big bills everyday! I don't know how things turned out like this…

Of course…. Manna talked A LOT. I left the Winery and went down the road. I went into a house to find a guy named Saibara living with his grandson, Gray.

Saibara: I'm Saibara. If you need any tool upgraded, or want me to make you a necklace, broach, diamond, whatever, just come see me!

Gray: Hello Daniel. Don't mind Saibara. He's very strict on every little thing!

Daniel: okay. I got to go.

I left Saibara's house and went to a chicken farm. Inside, was Popuri, her brother Rick, and her mom, Lillia.

Popuri: Welcome Daniel! If you want to buy chickens or any chicken supply, come see us!

Rick: Welcome!

Lillia: Since Daniel is new, I'll give him a first free chicken!

Daniel: Really! Thanks a lot!

Lillia: What would you like to name your first chicken?

Daniel: hmmm… EggLayer!

Lillia: Okay. I'll put him in your chicken coop. I'll also give you 30 bushels of chicken food to start out with!

Popuri: Mom, your so generous!

Rick: Yeah. You've never done that to any newcomers before!

Lillia: But he's a newcomer who's a farmer! He doesn't have any animals!

Daniel: Thanks a lot! I got to go though.

Popuri: Okay, bye!

I left Popuri's house and went inside a Cow Farm. A guy named Barley lived there.

Barley: Hello! You must be Daniel! May is my granddaughter, who always plays with Stu. I sell Cows and Sheep and their supplies!

Daniel: How much is a cow?

Barley: 6000G and Sheep are 5000G. But your new, so I'll put it down 1000G. Cows are 5000G. Sheep are 4000G.

Daniel: Still too many… I'll come back when I make more money.

Barley: Okay!

I went back to the farm, into the Chicken coop, and fed EggLayer. I went out at the bottom of my farm and met Gotz.

Gotz: If you ever need to make your house bigger, or need to extend your farm, come see me!

Daniel: Okay, maybe tomorrow.

Gotz: fine.

I got into my house and slept…. What a busy day I had today!
