Most days, Maggie doesn't hang out at the farm, because once chores are done, there's nothing to do. Today, however, she's laying on a hammock reading between two trees. There's still nothing to do, but at least she can catch up on books she'll never get to read otherwise.

"If you could help me find something else, I would appreciate that," Antigone replied. At least this woman was being kind and offering to help, she thought.

"Hey. Can I help you with anythin'?"

"Hello," she said. "I'm looking for employment here. Who can I talk to about that?"
It still felt strange, knowing she had to work to survive. But she was willing to do it.
