## Transcript

### Read Notice Board

>
> **You**: "Would you like the opportunity to work for the best breeder in all of Evervale? Well, you're in luck. I need a temporary farm hand to help me out. Come by my ranch if you think you have what it takes. Athena."
>
> **You**: Hmmm. Farm hand for a world famous breeder... I could do that. Maybe she'd teach me how to breed horses too!
>
> **Foal**: ...
>
> **You**: Oh, hello there! You're a sweet little thing aren't you. Are you lost? I wonder if you belong to the person who wrote that post on the noticeboard.
>
> **Foal**: ...
>
> **You**: Woah! Hang on, wait for me!
>
>
>

### Chase the Foal

>
> **You**: Gotcha, ya little rascal! Oh... I reckon that's your home right over there. Your owner must be worried sick. Let's get you back right away!
>
> **Foal**: ...
>
> **You**: I'll give you a tasty carrot if you follow me!
>

### Lead the Foal to the House

>
> **Athena**: Reggie you little troublemaker! That's the third time this week... should have called him Loki instead. That dang fence must be broken again.
>
> **You**: Well you're in luck! I actually came about the job advertisement... and I just happened to run into Reggie on the way. I can help you fix that fence if you like. I may have fixed a fence or two in my time.
>
> **Athena**: Let's take a look at you... Oh dear, is this really the best I can find? Fine, I suppose you'll do.
>
> **You**: Gee thanks.
>
> **Athena**: Listen, I don't just accept help from anyone. I'm the most famous breeder in all of Evervale! People come from miles away just to catch a glimpse of my foals!
>
> **You**: But I don't see anyone else here...
>
> **Athena**: That's because I only breed the most exceptional horses! *Unfortunately*, they are 'too expensive' for most people these days. But I refuse to lower myself and offer sub-par horses for a cheap buck like some. It's the best, or nothing!
>
> **You**: You must be losing a lot of money then... Do you have a plan?
>
> **Athena**: Of course I do! Athena always has a plan. I'm saving up to take a course and become a real estate agent instead... And you better believe I'll be the best at that too!
>
> **You**: Won't you miss working with horses?
>
> **Athena**: Miss working with horses? I dare say they would miss working with *me*... I'd rather turn this old ranch into a foal sanctuary. Care for lost or injured foals and teach people about them. But that would cost an arm and a leg!
>
> **You**: That sounds amazing, Athena. I would definitely come and visit.
>
> **Athena**: You and everybody else! Anyway, let's put you to work eh? You can start by going to see Farmer John to see if he'll lend me some posts to fix the fence.

### Talk to Farmer John

>
> **Farmer John**: Howdy stranger. What can I do ya for?
>
> **You**: Your neighbour, Athena, has a broken fence and her foals keep escaping. Can I borrow some fence posts to fix it up?
>
> **Farmer John**: Borrow? Ha! You can have as many as you can carry. I've got fence posts coming out the wazoo. Mind you, it occurs to me that this might be a good opportunity for old Farmer John...
>
> **You**: What do you mean?
>
> **Farmer John**: Well, I'd like to commission Athena to breed me a horse actually. You see, my body's getting old. I'm not cut out for farming anymore. I want a nice, fast horse that I can win the Star Championship on! Then I can retire and live off the winnings.
>
>
>
> * Wow, that's quite the plan.
> * If your body is getting too old for farming, how will you ride a racehorse?
>
>
> **Farmer John**: Giddy up, and cling on for dear life!
> **You**: Hmm. Alright then, I'll trust you.
>
> **Farmer John**: Now, you can pick the parents, I don't mind about that, just as long as it's fast, fast, fast!
>
> **You**: You got it!
