The Story of the Ferret

            Once upon a time in eastern Wales there lived a commoner with a pet ferret. He harvested grapes. Back in the 1600s nobility was key to money. You could work ten times harder and only get half of their paycheck. He was against this and thought every man should be treated equally. There was only one problem. He was scared of horses. Dark creatures with sharp hooves and red eyes. Oh, he shivered thinking about it. His ferret was even more scared than him. He ran from the most distant carriage. Because of this fear they never got to go to town. He payed people to deliver grapes for him. He also couldn’t talk to anyone that could do anything about it. They always rode horses. But he knew he had to do something about it. One day a beggar passed by. He was wearing fancy clothing. The beggar explained that he had once been a successful business man. The nobles had thought because he was so rich he would overpower them. So they shut down his business and left him in the dust. The man becomes so mad that without a second thought he picked up his faithful ferret and trudged all the way to town. When he arrived there he didn’t even grimace when a carriage passed by. He stormed all the way to town hall and bellowed to the Mayor, “No man should be pushed down mainly because someone of greater power is afraid that he would be overtaken. “The mayor only managed a scarce whisper “I agree but what can we do about it?””I propose, “The man exclaimed, “We make a law. This law will saw that if a business man has a business or a farmer has a farm that only debt to the landlord can deprive someone of their land.” the mayor quickly agreed. Right away people received jobs and the man became famous indeed. The queen invited him to tea and Galileo himself named a constellation for him called “the Ferret”. The best thing was that he was no longer afraid of horses. He even owned one! That man was revolutionary still are in debt to the man who was afraid of horses.
