分析 全文大意：
一个年轻人去农场找工作．当一位老农夫问这个年轻人能做什么帮到农场，他只是说"刮风时我能睡觉．"这个简短的回答使这个农夫不解．尽管他有点生气，但是他喜欢这个年轻人于是雇佣了他．一切顺利直到一天晚上的一场暴风雨．老农夫和妻子很快醒来，他们去看看是否一切安全．他们发现农舍的大门关着．农夫和妻子检查他们的财务．他们发现农具被安全地放在仓库里．谷仓被妥善地锁好了．甚至动物们都很平静．一切都好．在检查完一切之后，他们来到年轻人的房间发现他在睡觉．那时农夫才理解年轻人"刮风时我能睡觉"这句话的意思．因为年轻人在天气好的时候把工作都做好了，当刮风时他已做好一切准备．所以当刮风时，他不害怕．他能安心睡觉．
