A young man answered a want-ad for a farmhand. He told the owner about his previous work experience and then added, "And I can sleep when the wind blows." This puzzled the farmer a bit. However, he needed the help, so he hired the young man. During the next few months the hired hand did everything asked of him, and the farmer was satisfied. Late one night, one of those infamous mid-western windstorms roared across the plains. It was two in the morning, but the farmer got up, put on his clothes and ran out to tie down whatever needed to be secured. First, he checked the barn. The doors were shut tight, shutters were closed, and the animals were all properly tied in their stalls. He checked the springhouse, the pump, the storage shed, the machinery, and the trucks. All was secured. The farmer frantically ran from place to place. He just knew something had to be loose, uncovered, or rattling. However, everything was as it should be. The farmer then stuck his head into the bunkhouse to thank the new hand, only to find him sound asleep. Then the farmer remembered that curious statement, "I can sleep when the wind blows." He smiled, realizing that the young man had done everything he was expected to do. He could, indeed, sleep when the wind blew.  Quote this article on your site | Views: 558 | Print | E-mail
