Once upon a time, there
was a poor farmer.
He worked hard every day
to try and make a living, but
it was just too difficult. The
farmer had a wife and two
children, and they were all
struggling.

Once upon a time,
there was a computer
programmer who was
very unhappy with his
job. He worked long
hours in a cubicle, and
his boss was always
demanding more work
from him. The
programmer decided
that he'd had enough,
and he quit his job.
