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 9:Jogging

Yawning Jack walked out of his farm. The spring season was coming to a close and he had less and less crops to take care of as the days increased in number. Lifting his hat off his head Jack suddenly collided with someone.

Holding his head, Jack focused his eyes on two people; Wally the distance marathon runner and his son Hugh. "Top'of th'morn'." "Hiya Jack!"

"Hi fellas. Out jogging?" Whipping the sweat from his brow, the farmer placed the hat back on his head.

"Yeah, me and Hugh got a big race ahead of us next week." Wally ruffled the young boy's head as the kid smiled at Jack.

"I'm gonna win! Dad and I are practicing extra extra hard!"

"The best of luck to both of you." The two villagers sped off on that note leaving Jack with an empty rucksack and a day's worth of foraging to do. For Jack there was never just one big race, it happened everyday and for him the finish line was a long ways off.
