A very long timea go, a farmer owned stretches of land along the Atlantic seacoast. He had to constantly advertise for hird hands. Most people were reluctant to work on farms alongt eh Atlantic. They dreaded the awful storms that rages across the Atlantic, wreakign havoc on the buildings and crops.
One day, a middle aged man approached the farmer for the job, "Are you a good farm hand?" the farmer asked him.
“Well, I can sleep when the wind blows,” answered the little man. Although puzzled by this answer, the farmer hired him.
The man worked hard from dawn to dusk, and the farmer felt satisfied with the man’s work. Then one night the wind howled loudly in from offshore. Jumping out of bed, the farmer grabbed a lantern and rushed next door to the hired hand’s sleeping quarters.
He shook the man and yelled, “Get up! A storm is
coming! Tie things down before they blow away!” The man rolled over in bed and
said firmly,
“No sir. I told you, I can sleep when the wind blows. ”
“No sir. I told you, I can sleep when the wind blows. ”
Enraged by the response, the farmer was tempted to fire him on the spot. Instead, he hurried outside to prepare for the storm. To his amazement, he discovered that all of the haystacks had been covered with tarpaulins.
The cows were in the barn, the chickens were in the
coops, and the doors were barred. The shutters were tightly secured. Everything
was tied down. Nothing could blow away. The farmer then understood what his
hired hand meant, so he returned to his bed to also sleep while the wind blew.
