Running with the Mob

Once upon a time, there was a farm in a valley before gentle hills. The farmhouse was white with gray shutters, and the big barn was red with a shimmering pond beside it. There were lots of open places to run in the fields and play. One lonely maple tree stood guard over the open field to the left of the barn.
