Mr. Johnson looked up at the sky and did not see any clouds anywhere. He only saw the cruel, hot sun that was baking the land. Sadly, Mr. Johnson ran his fingers through one of the rows of dirt and grabbed a handful. It was bone dry, almost powdery. He let the dirt sift through his fingers and it turned to dust in the wind.

Mr. Johnson put his hands on his hips and looked at the field. It had lots of seeds already planted. He seeded it himself, yet nothing grew from the dirt. "Well, there's only one thing left to do," he said to himself. Mr. Johnson headed to church.

What does Mr. Johnson do for a living?

• He is a singer.

• He is a teacher.

• He is a farmer.

• He is a doctor.
