Once upon a time, there was a farmer named Mr. Green who loved his animals more than anything. One day, he got sick and went to see the vet. The vet told him that he needed to rest and not work for a week. Mr. Green was sad because he didn't have anyone to take care of his animals.

Then, a pupil named Billy who was in his class came to visit him. Billy asked Mr. Green if he needed any help and Mr. Green agreed. Billy took care of the animals and did a great job.

The next day, when Mr. Green went back to school, his teacher was so impressed with the work Billy had done that she asked him to give a presentation about it to the class. During the presentation, Billy explained how he became a farmer for a week and how much fun he had.

After school, Billy went to a restaurant to have lunch. The waiter asked him what he wanted to eat and Billy asked for a farmer's meal. The waiter was confused, but soon understood that Billy was a farmer for a week and wanted to eat like one.

Later, Billy was playing outside when he fell and hurt his arm. His mother took him to see the doctor. The doctor was amazed at all the things Billy had done in just one week and asked him how he managed to do it all. Billy smiled and said, "I'm just a pupil with big dreams."

Finally, Billy decided he wanted to build something. He asked the builder to help him build a barn for Mr. Green's animals. The builder agreed and together they built a beautiful barn.

From that day on, Billy was known as the pupil who could do anything and everyone in town was proud of him. The end.
