Scenario+5

Mike cannot afford to plow his land anymore because all of his oxen died due to the drought. He also has a family to support that includes his young wife, and his small children, Little John and Small Elizabeth. He is trying his hardest to make ends meet and with few jobs available to him outside of agriculture he cannot find a job anywhere else. His small crop yields leaves him and his family in abject poverty, and soon his wife leaves him for a more prosperous farmer next door after Mike's favourite goat Jeremy ate the last of the grain. Mike is crushed and desperately wants to win his wife back and children, but he knows that she will never return to him unless he is as wealthy as his neighbour Chris to support them. He is hideously lonely and wishes farming weren't such a miserable solitary job. He wants to be able to talk to someone about his feelings while he works.
