The Farmer and the Pretty Unicorn

Once upon a time, before the birth of christ, there was this humble and hardworking farmer ,named Luke, who owns a farm in a small village. He had own a large piece of land and have thousands of apple trees surrounding the land. Being an apple fanatic, he would always go to the apple trees to pluck some apples to eat. When Luke was bored, he would walk the earth in search of rare items.

In the small village , there are a lot of other farmers working too. Some growing pears, some peaches and some even bananas. Every last monday of the month, they would hold a fruit feast where all the farmers gather around to share their delicious fruits. Fruits galore...bonding farmers in the village together.

One day, Luke was bored. He was pondering and thinking : "Since I have a large piece of land, why not grow some carrots? I mean carrots are also some sort of fruits and it seems delicious too.It will be a great addition to the fruit feast. But I need another partner. One who could help me with growing the carrots with tender loving care. Where do i find that kind of partner?" One of his fellow farmer friend told him why not approach the recruitment centres at City Hall for a partner but Luke replied "Hey, I need someone who is very truthworthy. Not some partner who just come for the sake of salary."

Luke searched far and wide, even asked his friends to help him take a look out for a truthworthy partner. But alas, non of his friends had any to recommend. Then Luke sat on his rocking chair and tried to think if he had someone who is truthworthy. Then, he recalled meeting a beauty unicorn on the top of the mountain during his quest for a rare gem. She had those captivating eyes which would make any woman envy. He had a short chat with the unicorn while he take a short break before he continue his journey. Even though it was a conversation, it felt like one magical moment in his lifetime.

Of course, the farmer think that perhaps she could be of good help in the farm since she seems pretty capable and talented . So he went up the mountain again to look for her, asking if she would be to help in his farm. She asked if she could actually go back to her home once in awhile as she need to do her chores. Good O'Farmer Luke agreed and they started working together the next morning.

Pretty Unicorn would use her hoof to soften the soil and dig holes using her shiny pointy horn. Farmer would then follow at her back planting the seeds ,covering the holes and watering the crops. Sometimes, both of them would have little chat which makes working more fun and lifely. Sometimes when things are getting boring, Pretty unicorn would just crack a few jokes which makes the farmer feel happy that he had met such a great friend, a great partner.

As time goes by, pretty unicorn felt that "Hey...perhaps it is faster if i worked alone.". So, she started to do all the things her own and Farmer Luke asked her if she needed any help. She would just reply in a cold manner saying " No need" or just simplying kept quiet. Luke knew that she was a dedicated unicorn who is willing to devote her full attention to her work. Hoping that she would be happy, he just sat on his sturdy old chair and stare at the clear blue sky. Luke was bothered, thinking that " Am I such a bad farmer?"

A few days before the fruit feast,Luke's neighbour went to his house to ask for help as he had some trouble with watering the crops as his partner was in major illness. So Pretty unicorn volunteered to help Luke's neighbour water the crops. Well, Luke agreed that she should go help his neighbour and he would do the growing of carrots alone. As time goes by, Pretty unicorn was pretty engross with watering the crops that makes Luke actually wondered if she was there to actually help him with growing his carrots or helping his neighbours water his crops. Luke one day approached Pretty unicorn and asked which job she liked better and she replied watering of the crops.

Farmer Luke thought that perhaps she is happier on helping with watering the crops and he hoped that Pretty unicorn would be happy therefore he just worked alone growing his carrots. Once in awhile, farmer Luke requested her to help him with some minor chores. She either did it with little interest or simply say she is not interested in it. This , of course, pretty much upset farmer Luke and he went pretty quiet and always debated in his thoughts whether if it is good she stayed that way being a happy yet she was actually meant to help him instead. Sometimes, Pretty unicorn would actually approach Farmer Luke to ask if he wanted her to do any jobs, he would be in a dilemma, if giving her jobs would actually make her unhappy. As time goes by, Luke became pretty unhappy and sometimes got a little emotional. And Pretty unicorn became colder to him as he was being too quiet.

One day, Farmer Luke was unable to tolerate the feeling and wanted to talked to her regarding the situation because he thought that she was his friend and friends do tell each others their flaws. So, He plucked up his courage and talked to Pretty unicorn in private. His concious told him that it is sinful and hurtful to do that but when Pretty unicorn came, he just told her about the situation in an unorganised manner . Of course, in the farmer's mind, he was feeling kinda guilty and he almost wanted to break out tears when he did that as it was his first time saying such hurtfully stuff to a friend but hopefully it could be sorted out nicely in the end. But he ended up hurting the Pretty unicorn feeling and he felt guilty.

Farmer Luke then wondered if he had actually done the right thing as he always believed that his purpose in life is to make his friends happy and not upset them.
