I think we 're going to have lots of fun on the farm . '' `` I hope so , Zara . But I 've often read about how jolly farms are -- in books . In the books , you do n't have to get up at four o'clock on the cold winter mornings to do chores , and you do n't have to work all the time , the way I had to do for Maw Hoover . '' `` I guess that was just because it was Maw Hoover , Bessie , and not because it was on a farm . She 'd have been mean to you , and made you work all the time , just the same , if it had been a farm or wherever it was . I think it 's people that make you happy or unhappy , not other things . ''
