Long ago, there was a poor farmer called Fred. Fred and his wife, Doris, lived happily together in their tiny old hut. One winter night, the Luck Fairy came and wanted to give a wish to them.
Fred and Doris smiled at each other. Then Fred said, “Thank you, Luck Fairy. We’re well and happy.”
“Although we are old, we still work in the field every day.” said Doris.
“You work very hard, but you earn very little money. Would you like some gold coins?” asked the Luck Fairy.
“Oh, no, my dear Luck Fairy. Although we’re poor, we still have enough food to eat,” replied Fred.
“You can use the gold coins to buy some new clothes. The winter here is very cold,” said the Luck Fairy.
“Although we haven’t got many clothes, we’ve got enough,” said Doris.
“Well, what about a nice, new house?” asked the Luck Fairy.
“Thank you. I like my tiny, old hut very much. I’ve lived here since I was born. I don’t want a new house,” said Fred.
“You’re very different from other people. I like you very much,” said the Luck Fairy.“I wish you happiness and health forever.” Then the Luck Fairy disappeared.
