A long time ago my father took me to a farm to collect a barn full of hay. It took us several days to haul the stuff. The entire time we worked an old man stood nearby telling us his life story. He talked of all the places he went and all the things he had done. Near the end he told us that he had purchased the farm we were working on, and that it had once belonged to his late father.
