"The Hired Hand: An African-American Folktale" by Robert D. San Souci tells the story of a clever and resourceful hired hand who outsmarts a group of greedy folks in a Southern town. When an old farmer hires him, he finds himself in a tricky situation where he must use his wits to turn the tables on those who underestimate him. Through clever tricks and wise decisions, the hired hand gains the respect of the townsfolk, highlighting themes of intelligence, wit, and social justice. The tale is rich in cultural heritage and showcases the importance of cleverness over brute strength. [Generated by language model - please report any problems].
