A Children's Love Story

(romanticized version)
Once upon a time, in a land far far away lived the beautiful daughter of a farmer. She was the milker of the cows Bessy and Lill on their little farm, and whistled while she worked.
One fateful summer evening a handsome young town boy came trotting down the worn dirt road leading to the farm on his white steed Pinto. He was eager for a drink of water, for he was parched from his long days journey and there was no other well for miles.
As the town boy came closer to the farm he could hear the sweet melody of a whistle throughout the farm air. All thoughts of his thirst were abandoned as he searched for the source of the tune.
Finding the Farmer's daughter milking old Bessy, the town boy was smitten with love. He said, "Hello." And so did she. Looking into his big brown eyes the farmer's daughter knew there was more to life than milking cows. She was smitten as well.
Every Tuesday for three years following his episode of thirst the boy came to the farm for fresh eggs until he could stand it no longer. Instead of buying eggs, he hopped off Pinto in a brusque fashion and gave the farmer's daughter a smackeroo.
Picking her up by her muscly arms, he threw her on the back on Pinto and they rode off into the sunset to be married the next morning in town by Preacher Ben.
