Down on the Farm

By the storytellers of Havenwood Heritage Heights
She is happy. I think he's happy too.
They're getting married. They are in Iowa.
Bob and Sarah. They are farmers.
They farm corn, maize, cattle, chickens, ducks.
They have a dog named Rover who chases the Siamese cat named Sampson.
Their brothers and sisters work on the farm with them.
3 brothers: Andrew and Robert cultivate the wheat (you need more than one person on the wheat). Joseph takes care of the chickens and ducks.
2 sisters: Agnes and Phoebe - they cook for the brothers.
I imagine Bob milks the cows.
Sarah cooks for the farm boys.
First thing in the morning, they milk the cows. They also have beef cattle.
It's summer and sunny.
What sounds would we hear? Not much because I'm hard of hearing!
The ladies are frying chicken.
We smell the fried chicken and manure - that's plenty.
They're getting married at the county courthouse.
If they invite one sibling, they have to invite them all.
The preacher from the local church is going to perform the ceremony.
Three weeks after the wedding they get a divorce - Absolutely!
On the farm, they still do some things together.
I don't think Bob would want to marry again. I don't think he'd like heavy things like Sarah.
Sarah might get somebody. She looks for the same kind of man.
They don't live happily ever after.
