The Criterion to Becoming an Excellent Farmer

by Karisma Jestler

Jack bought the farm in Forget-Me-Not Valley. He's nothing special and when the Witch Princess asks him to bring back the Harvest Goddess he does not question it. Jack is not a rude man, nor does he have an attitude. Jack is just a common man with a dream to fix up the farm he bought and this is his story. *NOTE these are drabbles, nothing more than 100-300 words*

Chapter 3: Trees

Jack stared at the list of seeds he could buy. When Jack first came to town and met the rival farmer he asked to be added to her mailing list, for she sold seeds and they stood at a convenience for him merely just because the walk was closer to her than trudging back him farm while foraging.

He didn't need anymore turnips or potatoes and his two plots of strawberries were just ripening. Jack sighed he didn't know what to buy. "Jack why don't you sleep on it if its causing you this much trouble. We are open again tomorrow." Nodding Jack left and headed home. Shipping his findings and found himself hanging around at the blue bar.

Jack was never one to drink on a regular basis but the confliction of his new farmer's problems pulled him into the building. A bubbly blonde played with her drink and flirted with the rough looking bartender. A bright red head silently listened to a very high hippie. Jack greeted each of his fellow bar goers and sat on the stool second to the last. Griffin brought Jack the house beer and went back to Muffy's flirting.

It wasn't long until the final customer of the day came in. Her honey blonde hair was tied back in a small orange bandana. Her black rimmed glasses hide most of her violet eyes, which Jack could not keep his eyes off of. She ordered a drink Jack had never heard of and sat next to him. She smiled at her drink as Griffin put it down in front of her. For some reason as Jack looked back down at his beer he could help himself except. He was going to buy all the tree seeds.
