Solution

When I reached the farmhouse, I saw that the house was empty, which belonged to a family. I wondered where they might have gone. It can be assumed that the owner was not a farmer, because of the boulders in the field and the leaky barn. There is a possibility that the family was poor, because I saw several sealed jars in the cellar. Also it seems that a woman lived there. It was obvious she had left in a hurry. What was most touching was that the toys were scattered in the yard.
