(Episode 1)
Art was a farmer living with his wife and two children on his family farm in Midwestville
in 1800s. He grew corns and sold to several general stores in St. Louis. He took his
harvested corns to St. Louis with his wagons once a month. The trip took about three
days one way if the weather was good. Store owners paid him about 15 dollars, few
hams, two bags of flour and some household items. Art had everything he and his
family needed. Life was good.
Then, the transcontinental railroad came to Midwestville. Art was leery about the
railroad with all the disruptions of his neighborhood, digging and building. Ted, Art’s
neighbor, was a learned man whom Art respected. According to Ted, the railroad
company would take his corns to St. Louis for him in just five hours and the train could
return the next day. He said this was the technical advancement of the modern way.
Art should adapt to this new way of doing his business. Art finally decided to let the
railroad company to transport his crops to St. Louis. The next day, he went with
excitement to see the station master of the railroad company in Midwestville for his
money. The railroad company people were nice and friendly but told him that the
company didn’t owe him money since the railroad company didn’t consume his corns
and Art had benefited from the convenient and quick service provided by the new
technology. In all fairness, they did congratulate Art for his open-mindedness though.
Art felt the explanation from the railroad company made sense but where were his
fruits of labor, he wondered…

* Midwestville* (Episode 2 - Do Not Disturb!, a prequel to Episode 1)
In Episode 2, I will tell a story that happened seven years prior to the building of
railroad through Midwestville, which led to FarmerArt's dilemma. But I think most of
our audience want to know FarmerArt's quest of seeking the answer to his problem. I
will soon publish Episode 3 before the release of Episode 2.

* Midwestville* (Episode 3 - The Grand Ox)
~FarmerArt's Market~
Puzzled by his encounter with the modern way of doing business through the railroad
company, Art went to talk to his neighbor Ted who received his education back East,
Art thought. Ted was sympathetic and suggested "why don't you start your own
produce store in town?" Art thought it was a great idea. If it worked out, he wouldn't
need to rely on the railroad company's way of doing his business, which confused him,
or to transport his crops to St. Louis himself. He would then have time to fix his house
that he promised his wife to do for the last 10 years. Excited by this prospect of
opening his own business,Art rented a storefront on New Main Street in Midwestville,
hung his hand-painted sign "Farmer Art's Market" and opened for business. Much to
Art's disappointment, there were few people walked into his store or even took notice
of the existence of Art's startup venture.
~Book of Timeshadow from Ashmolean~
Ted opened the door, there he was. His buddy, Farmer Art sought his advice again.
After listened to Art's complaint for lacking of traffic to his store, Ted didn't give Art a
quick and smart answer as he had always done. He turned his face toward the

3. fireplace and stared at the flame for quite a while, and turned and looked Art in the
eyes, said "mate, can you keep a secret?"
"Yes, yes, sure, sure," Art answered eagerly. "You are asking the utmost question that
has tortured countless brilliant minds throughout the ages." Ted went into his study
and returned with an old and tattered leather bound book with some dark brown stains
on it. Then, Art was told a tall tale about this Book of Timeshadow that he didn't know
how to make of it. Ted said with a serious and almost scary expression on his face
that Art had never seen before. He said this was a book he took from Ashmolean
Museum when He was a freshman in the university. And this was why he quitted
school, came and settled in this place of no where on the Great Plains. He then told
Art that all the knowledge in and beyond this world was kept in a place where no
mortal could reach except for few spiritual beings, and one of such spiritual mediums
lived not so far from Midwestville.
~The Place of Nine Moons~
The next day, Art kissed his wife and children goodbye, jumped on his horse and on
his way went with Ted to find this shaman, The Grand Ox. Guided by the instructions
in the Book of Timeshadow, Art and Ted rode eight days due north and rested seven
nights to find a place where there were nine moons. After eight-day's nonstop ride, the
duo reached a lowland where there were many lakes. It was the spring time, there
were plenty of grasses and plants near the lakes. Art and Ted let loose the horses and
searched for the place of nine moons on foot. In the early evening, exhausted by their
search in vain, they sat on a hilltop starting a campfire.Art suddenly stood up yelling
with beef jerky in his mouth, "Look! Nine moons!" There it was, the moon's reflection
shown in the nine small lakes below the small hill Art and Ted camped.
~The Grand Ox~
Rushed down the hill, Ted read the calling spell from the book,
"Dart-Slash-Eh-Dart-Out" for the shaman. After Ted repeated several times,Art
elbowed Ted asking him to turn his head. A small tepee was set behind them 30 feet
away where an old Indian sat inside in meditation. "Ahem, pardon me. Are you The
Grand Ox?" Said Ted. "Don't you recognize me? My friend." The old man opened his
eyes and replied. Ted's face turned pale as if he had seen a ghost. "It's you...20
years...I haven't seen you since you showed me the book at Ashmolean." "Here I am
again. Sent here to show you the way." Art stood there in awe but was a little
disappointed since this Grand Ox was a little old man in blanket, less than five feet.
~Realm of Virtue~

4. Art then told the shaman his problems. Listened, smiled and offered his smoking pipe
to Art and Ted who both politely asked the old man to smoke first. The Grand Ox
pondered for a while and declared that Art's dilemma warranted answers from the
higher spiritual realm, the Realm of Virtue where Pearl of Tranquility would enlighten
them. Smoking the pipe, the Grand Ox said with a hollow voice seemed he was
speaking to them in a distance away, "If people don't march to corns, corns shall
march to people, and they shall multiply throughout the land." Art and Ted turned to
each other, puzzled, "Corns? March? Multiply? How?"
"But beeeware of the..." Hooooyoooo...BANG!” As a short and skinny man, he surely
made a huge sound when he collapsed to the ground as if a giant timber had fell. The
duo stood and overlooked the Grand Ox, "zzzZZZ...." I guess we have to wait until
The Grand Ox awoke for the answer to FarmerArt's quest in the next episode of
Midwestville.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
The moral lesson, if any, is go to school and read your books. If the Book of
Timeshadow is revealed to you, start your own hi-tech empire.
What happened to Art's corn business? Did the Grand Ox's advices work? What's the
warning the Grand Ox was trying to utter before falling asleep? Are we in trouble?
Please follow the next episode of Midwestville. The complete and full answer to
Farmer Art's dilemma will be published with each episode's release while we are still
looking for our funding partners as well as our team.
