"Miss I am sorry to bother you with such a trivial matter but, the irrigation near our farm has come apart and has our land in a flood.  We are the last farm on the outskirts of the kingdom i had to travel an entire day to get here...I understand it is troublesome to ask for help for one farm but we are in dire straights...our crops are flooded and dead so we are unable to turn in our share of the harvest much less feed my family.  The horses are getting soft shoe and are unable to pull our wagons and already a litter of piglets has drowned that we could not keep above the water.  My sisters and I are doing our best to fix it ourselves but we know nothing of how to fix the problem and our patchwork keeps coming loose."
