One day as I was taking my ponies out for a jaunt around the field I noticed, off in the distance, a woman sitting under a tree with a box of crayons and a coloring book. Knowing the ponies where safe in the field and wouldn't run off I went over to check what this woman was doing.
I come close to her, she noticed my feet out of the corner of her eyes and she looked up, placing the crayon in her hand down and the coloring book on her lap.
"Hello..." she said quietly.
"Hello, my names Jack A. Lotting." I greet her.
"I'm Ann Job." Ann responds quietly.
"So, what, may I ask, are you doing under this tree?" I request.
"I was told to go outside, but I never want to." She says looking back at the coloring book, "I seen this tree with a large shadow under it and came here to sit."
"Ahh, well what's with the coloring book?" I asked.
"I don't know. I just grabbed something on my way out." Ann responded placing the coloring book to the ground beside her.
"I see. Is there anything you would rather be doing?" I ask, "I have some ponies and horses at my farm if you would like to go for a ride." I gesture to my farm.
She looks at me with a large smile and responds cheerily, "Ok, sounds fun." She hoped up and I lead her back to my farm.
I take her into the barn, "Pick any horse you want, I have to go bring the ponies back in before we leave." She nods then I turn and leave to gather the ponies.
I come back after gathering up the ponies to find her covered in mud and on the ground, "what happened?" I ask, concerned that she was hurt.
"I went to pet a horse and it jumped and startled me, then I fell into a puddle of mud." she says.
"Oh my, ok come in, I'll give you a shower and a change of clothes." I say with a slight grin.
I take her into my house, lead her to my room, grab some pants and a shirt explaining I had nothing more and I would clean her clothes.
She takes the shirt and pants I gave her in her arms and I take her to the bathroom, I reach into the shower, making sure there's soap for her. "Ok, there's soap and shampoo in the shower. I'll get you a towel and put it on the handle of the door for when you're done." I say.
"Thank you so much." she says as I leave her to the shower.
