    There was a farmer and he had a boy hired The farmer sent him out to harrow a field of seed after he started a little pebble got into his boot. He was so attended to his work he wouldn't take time to take off his boot until night. His foot was well blistered when he took off his boot and his foot was sore. His master asked him what was he taking off his boot for or was he going to bed. The boy said he got a stone in his boot and he had no time to take it out so his Maser paid him off and said he wauld not keep him any longer because if his hors took up a stone in his hoof he woldn't take time to take it out till he was destroyed.
