The Farm Boy

Once there was a poor boy who had no family. He worked for a farmer and lived in a
1
cart / hut / harvest with the farm animals. At night, the boy slept on 2 straw / harvest / cart
with the horses and the 3 knight / merchant / oxen. During the day, he worked with the
­animals in the fields. He was a strong, clever boy and he quickly learned how to plant
4
straw / grain / trade in the spring and how to bring in the 5 knight / hut / harvest in the
autumn.
The farmer grew lots of different 6 oxen / grains / crops – not just grain, but carrots, onions
and potatoes. One day, the boy helped the farmer take some of his vegetables to the market
in the 7 hut / cart / grain. The farmer wanted to 8 cart / merchant / trade some vegetables
for other things he needed, such as salt. But when the salt 9 crop / knight / merchant saw the
boy, he started to cry.
‘Where have you been for so long, my son?’ he asked him.
He asked the farmer where the boy came from. The farmer said, ‘A 10 knight / trade / crop on
a black horse left the boy at my door when he was a baby.’
The boy was so happy – now he had a family too.
