lol, Stanley is quite the idiot in this one! A few spelling errors: Realized, not realizes, and she muttered to herself as SHE, not he, went outside. I think this ficly wins the prize for the most usage of the word cow! I love the ‘only 50 gold pieces’. :)

Well executed. I was reminded of the song “Galtee Farmer” by Steeleye Span as I read this: very similar theme.
