The Real Life of Common People
This is the real life of common people. Husband and wife, laughing and smiling, for no good reason.
The mans name is Fred Harvey and the woman's name is Agnus Harvey. Agnus Harvey was a nice person, smart as a whip some would say. Her husband Fred can really make her laugh, they're always having fun them two. Fred is a farmer and Agnus is a substitute teacher. The two of them own a farm on the property where they live, owning dogs, chickens and cows. Fred tends to the farm, plowing the fields while Agnus tends to the house, keeping it clean, making supper and baking goodies. This is common knowledge as Fred is constantly seen wearing his farmers cap and Agnus is wearing her apron.
The two of them have a way of talking to one another that really cracks the other up. Fred had told her a joke that not only made Agnus laugh, but also himself. He was proud of the jokes he told. "She gets me. She doesn't have to say anything, she can just look at my face and crack up." is something Fred had said.
Agnus lives a happy life due to her faith and confidence in what she's doing. She enjoys Fred's sense of humor and the both of them have their life together which is more than enough. Some might suspect that Agnus is laughing at Fred's baggy, loose pants which are seeming to drop. But the truth is that Agnus is laughing WITH fred about his pants. That is the secret to their happiness! It was never about the clothes Fred wore, or the dumb jokes he told... It was the way the two of them could make eachother laugh over something so simple. They find joy in eachothers laughter!
You can hear their laughter. You can feel their confidence through the laughter. It doesn't matter if you can see it because they can feel it. It doesn't matter how someone looks or acts from an outside perspective, because they themselves love one another. And that is all that matters.
