Dialogue
Farmer Todd: Hello there, traveller.

'''1. Busy with farm work I see. '''

'''2. '''Hello and good bye.

You: Busy with farm work I see.

Farmer Todd: *Laughs and gives you a warm smile* You got it! Farmin’s what I do, lass. Why do ye think they call me Farmer Todd, hm? *Looks you over briefly* And I take it you aren’t a farmer from the looks of ye.

You: You are correct. But I am looking for work, is there anything that I can do to help you?

Farmer Todd: *Setting down his milk pails* Most of the work ‘round here’s just simple chores. I’d hate t’bore ye with ‘em.

'''1.  Nothing wrong with a little farm work. What needs to be done? '''

2. Find me if anything interesting comes up then.

You: Nothing wrong with a little farm work. What needs to be done?

Farmer Todd: Well, me and me family can take care of the normal chores just fine. But there are a couple of odds and ends that ye could help with, if ye like.

You: Odds and ends?

Farmer Todd: *Motions to the hay bails* Aye. On the other side if the farms are a few scarecrows we use t’keep animals away from our crops. After a while though, the wind blows the stuffin’ out of ‘em. Would ye mind filling our scarecrows with some fresh hay?

'''1.  <span style="font-size:12.0pt;line-height:115%;font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"">Sure, I can take care of that for you. '''

<span style="font-size:12.0pt;line-height:115%;font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"">2. Actually, I think I'll pass this one.

<span style="font-size:12.0pt;line-height:115%;font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"">You: Sure, I can take care of that for you.

<span style="font-size:12.0pt;line-height:115%;font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"">Farmer Todd: *Hefts a bail of hay over to you happily* Careful with that, its quite heavy. Come find me when you’re finished.

There are quite a few of scarecrows dotted throughout the fields that need fresh hay. Time to get my hands dirty with some good, old-fashioned farm work.
