Once upon a time, there was a land where an influx of people came to live. They were all searching for a better life and an opportunity to work and provide for their families. The land was rich with resources, and the king needed many workers to help harvest them.

So, he set a quota for the number of workers he needed. This meant that only a certain number of people would be allowed to come and work in the land.

Many people were disappointed because they did not make the quota and could not come to the land. But for those who did make the quota, they were given the chance to become indentured servants. This meant that they would have to work for the king for a set number of years in exchange for food, shelter, and a chance to make a new life.

One of these workers was a young man named Jack. He was a hard worker and always did his best. After a few years of working for the king, Jack became known for his skills and was offered a special opportunity. The king was so impressed with Jack's work that he offered him a piece of land to start his own farm.

From that day forward, Jack worked even harder, using the skills he learned from the king. His farm became the most prosperous in the land, and he was soon able to hire other workers and help them start their own farms.

Years passed, and Jack became one of the most successful and respected people in the land. He never forgot where he came from and always made sure to help those in need.

The end.
