When the time came, Two-Legs filled the house which he had built for a barn with the produce of his field. And the harvest was hardly gathered before he began to think of next year.
He ploughed a new field and another and sowed them. The year after, he cleared a part of the forest and tilled that.
And so he went on year by year, until he had cultivated the land as far as he could see from his house on the hill.
Round the house he had planted a garden with the fruit-trees and herbs which he had a use for. The fields lay in long, even strips, each with its own sort of grass or corn. The whole was fenced in; and Two-Legs was hard upon any who destroyed his work or stole his property.
