There were two young farmers, Amos and Rufus. Both were just starting out, and neither could afford to buy their own land. They had heard a large landowner, Frank Booker, was letting farmers like them rent land for free. They spoke with other farmers and realized that it was indeed the case and that they to could use the land for free.
Amos and Rufus were given identical spots side by side. They were the perfect spots to boot! They were close to the main road with plenty of parking, and they could sell their crops directly from the field. Time went by, and our faithful farmers started to become more successful.
