Read and learn about jobs

People's ideas about work and jobs have changed over the years. About 3,000 years ago, people worked for one reason – to survive. Work was hard. People did what they had to do to meet their needs. About 500 years ago, people in the West began to see work as more than a way to survive. People worked to serve God, their country, and their families. Then, about 200 years ago, a new idea about work arose. This idea was that people should enjoy the work they do.

When people think about jobs today, they still work to survive. They still work to help others. But they look for more. They want a career that they will enjoy. People can choose among thousands of different careers. For example, a person can be a salesperson, reporter, or technician. They can choose almost any career they want.

There was once a land where everybody had the same job. They grew food. Some people were better than others at their job. Some people liked their job more than others.

One man in this land was a wonderful farmer. He loved his work. He treated all his plants like tiny children. He tended them day by day watching them grow. The man grew every kind of fruit and vegetable. He ate some of the food right away. He put other food in a dark, cool place. He ate this food during the long winter.

This farmer filled the spaces around his tiny house with flowers. He picked some of them and put them all over his house. He hung some of the flowers upside down to dry. Then he filled his sleeping sack with the dried flowers. In the winter, the sweet smell of the flowers reminded him of the warm summer.

The farmer planted and grew more fruits and vegetables than he could eat. He picked more flowers than he could use. It made him sad that such beautiful things were never used. But he couldn't give up the joy of tending his garden. During the winter, the farmer was bored. He sat and waited for the cold weather to end. He wished that he had something to do.

In the same place, there was another man. He grew food, too. But this man didn't like farming. He knew little about planting and saving food. He liked writing stories. His head was filled with ideas for stories. His house was filled with the stories he had created over the years.

This man tried to grow what he needed, but it was hard for him. Instead of tending his plants, he sat outside thinking up ideas for new stories. Instead of picking the ripe fruits and vegetables, he created pictures to go along with his stories.

The little food he grew ran out long before the winter was over. Then he was too hungry to think, write, or draw. Each winter he wished he had been more of a farmer than a writer.

The two men met on the road one day. Each one talked about what he did best. They both decided that they could help each other.

What do you think they decided to do? Write an ending for the story on a separate piece of paper.
