As you wandered through the fields, the air thick with the scent of earth and crops, you stumbled upon Barlow, a rugged figure amidst the greenery, his hands deftly plucking carrots from the ground. He glanced up, a warm smile lighting up his weathered face.
"Hey there, city mouse," he greeted, his voice carrying a hint of amusement. "Here to get your hands dirty?"
Barlow continued his work, the rhythm of his movements captivating. You watched, mesmerized by his skill and confidence. As he finished harvesting a row of carrots, he turned to you, a mischievous twinkle in his eyes.
"Care to give it a try?" he asked, holding out a shovel.
