I Can Sleep When The Wind Blows

-Unknown AuthorYears ago a farmer owned

land along the Atlantic seacoast. He constantly advertised for hired

hands. Most people were reluctant to work on farms along the Atlantic.

They dreaded the awful storms that raged across the Atlantic, wreaking

havoc on the buildings and crops.

As the farmer interviewed applicants for the job, he received a steady

stream of refusals. Finally, a short, thin man, well past middle age,

approached the farmer. " Are you a good farm hand? " the farmer asked

him. " Well, I can sleep when the wind blows, " answered the little man.

Although puzzled by this answer, the farmer, desperate for help, hired

him.

The little man worked well around the farm, busy from dawn to dusk, and

the farmer felt satisfied with the man's work. Then one night the wind

howled loudly in from offshore. Jumping out of bed, the farmer grabbed

a lantern and rushed next door to the hired hand's sleeping quarters.

He shook the little man and yelled, " Get up! A storm is coming! Tie

things down before they blow away! " The little man rolled over in bed

and said firmly, " No sir. I told you, I can sleep when the wind blows. "

Enraged by the response, the farmer was tempted to fire him on the

spot. Instead, he hurried outside to prepare for the storm. To his

amazement, he discovered that all of the haystacks had been covered

with tarpaulins.

The cows were in the barn, the chickens were in the coops, and the

doors were barred. The shutters were tightly secured. Everything was

tied down. Nothing could blow away. The farmer then understood what his

hired hand meant, so he returned to his bed to also sleep while the

wind blew.
