Once upon a time there was a boy in a small town in a far away land named jimmy. Jimmy had some strange things happen to him in that small town. His dad never gave him any attention. So one day Jimmy decided to go outside and play with the family dog. He heard a sound he had never heard before, it was coming from the barn. So Jimmy decided to go to the barn and see what it was. When he saw what it was he couldn’t believe it. It was a TV. Jimmy had never seen a TV before. He saw his dad in his usual spot in the barn by the TV. Jimmy never knew that his dad had got a TV without his wife knowing and snuck in the barn to watch wrestling match on the TV. Jimmy had tried to see what his dad was doing when he stepped on a stick and it broke, his dad heard the stick break and quickly turned the TV off. He got out of his chair and went to Jimmy and helped him up. Jimmy asked him what he was doing with that TV in the barn. His dad said that he had gotten it without his wife knowing, and begged Jimmy to not tell his mom about the TV. Jimmy said "why shouldn`t I!" "You spent more time watching the stupid TV than u spend time with your family!" "So give me 1 good reason that I shouldn`t go tell mom!" His dad said " you`re right, I do spend more time watching TV more than I spend time with my family." And after he said that he went and unplugged the TV and threw it in the ditch behind the ditch. Then the two of them went in the back yard and played catch together. After a while of playing catch the two of them heard Jimmy`s mom scream from the kitchen and ran in to see what was wrong. They got in and asked her what happened and she said “there is a mouse in under the counter!" So jimmy`s dad got a trap and sat cheese on it and put it under the counter where the mouse was and left to go back outside and spend time with his family. They have all been outside playing with the family dog for a few hours and the dog got tired and goes in the house to cool off so the rest of them follow to do the same. Jimmy`s dad checks the trap and they have a dead mouse in the trap. He takes the trap to his wife and says “is this what you were so scared of?" and puts the mouse in the yard. Since they live on a farm Jimmy`s dad decides that it`s time to teach Jimmy how to work the tractor. So he calls jimmy out to the shed where jimmy wasn`t allowed to go in. And Jimmy comes and says “yes dad?" His dad says "Jimmy, it`s time for you to learn how to keep this farm running like it should. And to do that you have to learn to operate the tractor." Jimmy says "really dad! I get to see what`s in the shed I can’t go in!?" His dad says “yes, you do." He pulls the door open and jimmy runs in and says "what is it daddy?" Says Jimmy. His dad says that it’s what you are going to have to learn how to drive to keep this farm going like it should. He gets on and drives out the shed and gets off and tells Jimmy " Hop on" so he and Jimmy get on and drive off to the empty field that needs to be seeded so they drive it off with Jimmy`s dad driving and Jimmy on his knee waiting to get to the field. When they finally get to the field he shows Jimmy how to work the tractor and how to drive. So he gets off and Jimmy gets in the seat and start driving. Him dad tells him to press the breaks and they are so old it takes it a while to stop. So his dad says common we need to go home so I can fix the tractor. On the way home I need to go by the store and get brake pads for the breaks. So they get the pads and go home so they can work on the tractor together. Because they are tired they go in and take a break and Jimmy`s dad puts the brake pads in the kitchen for they won`t forget where they are when they need them. When they get ready to go outside they smell something in the kitchen, they look at the table and there is a cake on the table! Jimmy Says “I’m hungry daddy.” His dad says “I am too.” So they get a slice of cake before they go back outside. The family dog comes in, sits by the table and looks up. Jimmy says “I think he wants a slice.” His dad says “I do too. But he can’t eat cake.” Jimmy says “oh.” Jimmy says “what happened to lucky daddy?” His dad says “he ran away.” Jimmy sits there in silence and finishes his slice of cake before they go outside. When they get outside they hear the phone in the house ringing. Jimmy`s dad goes inside and answers it and comes back outside with Jimmy. Jimmy says “what are we going to do daddy?” His dad says “you and I are going to make chars for us to sit in when we come outside. And we will make one for your mother too.” So they make the chairs. Then they start on the tractor. They put the pads on and since it`s metal Jimmy asks “can we paint the tractor to make it look nice?”Jimmy`s dad says “sure we can.” He goes and gets the paint and they start painting the tractor. And jimmy takes over the farm and they all live happy lives.
