A Farmer's Boy
one daughter. Her name was Linda, and she was a year
younger than Tony. Mr Wood loved Linda dearly, but
he wanted a son very much. He was like a father to
Tony.
Tony was happy. At the end of every day his back
was tired and his legs hurt, but he slept like a baby. He
ate Mrs Wood's good country food. He drank a lot of
milk. Soon he needed new clothes. He sent his old
clothes home for his brothers. He sent his family
money, too.
Sometimes Tony visited his family. He enjoyed those
visits, but he was always happy to leave again. 'I'm a
country boy now,' he thought.
