I can sleep during storms
I can sleep during storms
Once upon a time there lived
a rich landlord,
who hired people to work
in his fields and paid them wages.
Once he bought a new land
and conducted an interview
to recruit someone to work there.
After interviewing some,
he came upon a person
who gave a strange reply
to his rather simple question
'Why you should be hired?'
The reply was 'Because I can
sleep during storms!'
Though the landlord
did not get the meaning,
he still recruited the man.
After a few months of no complaints,
one day the landlord got the news
of an approaching storm.
He quickly went to his fields,
and gradually to the man who had
given the strange reply.
But alas! he really found him sleeping.
He woke him up and asked him to
bring the animals to a safe shed and
to secure the harvest as the storm
could arrive at any moment!
The man replied that he has already
done that and now he was taking
a nap in peace!
The landlord now understood
the meaning of 'I can sleep
during storms!'
The man had preplanned everything
and was just the right man
to work in his fields!
