They were afraid of the terrible storms.Finally, a short, thin man came to the farmer. “Are you a good farm worker?” The farmer asked him. “Well, I can sleep when the wind blows,” answered the little man. The farmer was surprised (惊讶) with the answer. But he really needed help, so he hired(雇佣) him. The little man worked well and the farmer was very happy with his work.
