got no reply as most people feared the terrible storms across the Atlantic coast.

Although puzzled by this answer, the farmer, badly in need of help, hired him. The little man worked
well around the farm and the farmer felt 2 with the man's work.
Then one night the wind blew loudly in from the shore. Jumping out of bed, the farmer caught a
lantern (提灯) and 3 next door to the little man. He shook the little man and shouted, "Get up! A storm
is coming! Tie things down 4 they are blown away!"
The little man rolled over in bed and said firmly, "No, Sir. I told you, I can sleep when the wind blows."
The farmer was very 5 and hurried outside to prepare for the storm himself. 6 , he discovered
everything was tied down.
The farmer then 7 what his hired man had said. When you're prepared, you have 8 to fear.
