OOC - The short story

Once upon a time, there was a young lad who lived on a farm.
He was content with life and cared for his friends, the livestock he watched and the family he had.
One day, a royal knight passed through the town, looking for a squire to aid in his grand heroics.
Meeting all who were intrigued, he found none but the farm boy to be of his liking.
"Young man, would you join me in a great quest, to vanquish evil from this land and be proclaimed a hero?"
The farm boy thought of this offer, to seek a life of fame and fortune was a chance few ever got in their life, riches beyond his imagination and to sit in the courts of great Kings.
Looking into the charismatic eyes of the noble warrior, the man gave his answer.
"No."
