The Soldier Turned Farmer by Anonymous
"The Soldier Turned Farmer" by Anonymous is a children's story likely written in the late 19th century. The book presents a whimsical narrative about a boy's aspiration to become a soldier, only to realize that a life as a farmer is far more desirable. Through its simple prose and engaging illustrations, the story serves as both a moral lesson and a depiction of rural life, showcasing the charm of farming compared to
the harshness of military life. The tale follows a young boy who yearns to be a soldier, dressed in fine clothes and dreaming of marching with a gun and knapsack. However, after experiencing the worries and fears of military life, particularly when confronted by a roaring lion in a distant land, he decides to abandon his dreams of warfare. He returns home and embraces the role of a farmer, purchasing a horse and tending to livestock. The story emphasizes themes of bravery, contentment, and the joys of agrarian life, ultimately advocating for the peaceful and fulfilling life of a farmer over the tumultuous existence of a soldier.
