Years ago, a farmer had a farm on the Atlantic beach.<br />He wanted to hire a worker, but no one wanted to work for him<br />because they didn't want to work on farms along the Atlantic.<br />They were afraid of the terrible storms.<br />Finally, a short, thin man came to the farm.<br />Are you a good farm worker? The farmer asked him.<br />Well, I can sleep when the wind blows, answered the little man.<br />The farmer was surprised at the answer, but he really needed help, so he hired him.<br />The little man worked well, and the farmer was very happy with his work.<br />One night, the wind blew hard.<br />Jumping out of the bed, the farmer rushed to the worker's room.<br />He cried to the little man.<br />Get up! A storm is coming.<br />Tie things down before the wind blows them away.<br />The little man said,<br />No sir, I told you I can sleep when the wind blows.<br />The farmer was angry.<br />He hurried to prepare for the storm by himself.<br />To his surprise, he found that all the things had already been tied down.<br />The farmer then understood what his worker meant.
