Well now, let me tell you about Leah. She’s a peculiar one, that gal. Lives all by herself in a little cabin over yonder in Cindersap Forest, just south of where your farm is. Don’t much like to be around people, but she’s got a soft spot for nature and spends most of her time out in the woods, looking for food or just sittin’ back and watchin’ the seasons change. Some folks like to call her a sculptor, but I reckon she’s just someone who’s got a way with her hands, makin’ little things outta stone and wood. But the real question is, why’d she even choose to live this way? And more importantly, why did she ask you, of all people, why you decided to become a farmer?
Now, if you’ve been around Leah long enough, you’d know she doesn’t talk too much ’bout herself. But one day, after you’ve been workin’ the land, you might get a letter from her. It’ll say somethin’ like “Meet me at the forest in the afternoon!” Don’t miss it, ‘cause that’s the day she’ll ask you a question, plain and simple: “Why’d you become a farmer?”
Now, let me tell you, there’s a few ways you can answer her. I reckon each one of ‘em tells Leah somethin’ different about you. If you’re lookin’ to score some points with her, then you better pay attention to what she likes. One answer might make her think you’re all about the land, another might make her see you as a bit of a dreamer, and another might show you’ve got a big heart for animals and such.
Answer One: “I wanted to be close to nature.” Now, Leah’s a nature lover, through and through. She spends all her time in the woods, so if you tell her you’re lookin’ to get closer to nature, she might just smile and think you’re the perfect match. She’ll appreciate that you understand her love for the wild world around her.
Answer Two: “I wanted to make a living off the land.” Well, now, this one’s a bit more practical. If you tell her that farming’s just a way to make a livin’, she’ll probably respect that, too. It’s honest work, after all, and she knows all about hard work herself. But it ain’t as romantic as the first answer, so you might not win her heart with this one.
Answer Three: “I wanted to escape the big city.” Some folks come from places where there’s too much hustle and bustle, and I reckon that could be Leah’s story too. If you tell her you’re lookin’ to leave behind all the noise and stress of city life, she’ll understand. She’s made her peace with bein’ alone, and I think she’d get where you’re comin’ from. Might even make her think you’re a bit of a free spirit.
Answer Four: “I wanted to help the people in the valley.” Now this one’s a bit more sentimental. Leah doesn’t seem to have a whole lotta family, but she cares ‘bout the folks around here. If you tell her you’re farming to help others, she’ll probably get a warm fuzzy feelin’. It might not make her see you as a big romantic, but it’ll surely show her that you’ve got a good heart. And that goes a long way with people like Leah.
So, there ya go. You’ve got four answers, and depending on what you say, it might just change how she sees you. But don’t be thinkin’ you can just pick any ol’ answer and hope for the best. No, sir. If you’re tryin’ to win her over, you’ll want to pick the answer that speaks to her heart.
But why did Leah become a farmer, you ask? Well, now, I can’t say for sure, but I reckon it’s got somethin’ to do with her love for the land. She sure spends a lotta time outside, and she don’t need nobody to tell her how beautiful the seasons are when you’ve got the right eyes to see it. She ain’t like most folks who just live for the next payday, nah. She’s got a different rhythm to her life. Maybe she wanted to live somewhere peaceful, somewhere where she could be her true self without all the noise and distractions of a busy world.
Leah, she’s a simple soul. She don’t want no fancy things. She just wants peace, a bit of freedom, and a life that’s close to the earth. She’s not about the fast life, but about enjoyin’ the small moments—like when the mushrooms pop up in the forest or when the wild berries are ripe for pickin’.
So, when you think about why Leah’s a farmer, I reckon it’s because she’s got a spirit that wants to live true to herself. And maybe, just maybe, she sees somethin’ in you too, someone who might understand that way of life. So, take your time, pick your answer wisely, and let the cards fall where they may. Who knows? Maybe you’ll be able to share a life out there in the valley, just you and her, with the earth beneath your feet and the stars above your heads.
