“Calling you Farmer is a bit awkward. What is your first name?”

Farmer’s forehead creased as he perfomed some mental exertion.

“My parents never told me about any other names I had. Farmer is my only name. I’ve never changed it.”

“I am called Poul III.”

“…” The silence hung in the air.

“Let me guess. You rear chickens.”

“How do you know?” said Farmer in amazement.
