It's been around two whole months since I received my last letter. It's Winter 29 and I'm sailing to Mineral Town to see his
farm with my dog Jolee. In his last letter, he had written that he wasn't feeling really well, but not to worry about it. He had
sold his farm to the town and they have been keeping it safe from big business farmers. He has been living off of social
security money for the whole winter. In his letters he told me of the fun he had farming, and all the nice people there, but not
enough to know them. The thing is that the last letter I received wasn't from him. It was from the Mayor. It was a copy of
the will of the old man. He had died and given me the farm.
As I looked off the boat's edge, I could see the town getting bigger. I was very anxious because I didn't know anyone
except the farmer. I only knew the basics of farming so I was worried I might let him down.

"This is really fun!" Said a little boy.
"Yea it sure is. But it would be nice to have help all the time instead of only in the summer." The old man laughed half-
heartedly.
"Ok, When I finish with all my school, I'll move down here from the city and help you here. Then maybe ill get my own farm
and be the best farmer ever! With chickens and Cows and Sheep and tons of food!"
"That's great," the old man laughed, "I'll be looking forward to it!…
End Flash back
That isn't what happened though. My parents, in fear of menot going to make enough money with farming, stopped me
from going over there in the summers and made me pick a different carrier path. I have become a phone salesmen. "How
fun!" I sarcastically said to myself. We still wrote to each other though. Now that I am twenty-one, I can make my own
choices, and I cannot refuse my best friends will! "We now have arrived in Mineral Town." The boats captain told me.
I am Tony and this is my life on the farm……
