阅读下面短文，简略回答问题。
Once there was a farmer. He owned a farm by the ocean. As farm work was too heavy for him alone, he wanted to hire(雇用) a helper. However, few people were willing to work there because of the terrible ocean storms.
One day, a middle-aged man named Robby came for the job interview. On his way to the farm, he met a man carrying a heavy box, and the man seemed very tired. So Robby just stopped and gave him a hand. The man tried to pay for that, but Robby refused and said it was no big deal.
When Robby arrived, he found the farmer was just the man he helped. The farmer was surprised and he asked, “Are you good at farm work?” Robby answered, “Yes, I’ll try my best and I can even sleep when the wind blows.” The farmer didn’t understand what he meant, but he still hired him.
Robby worked very hard every day, feeding the animals and taking good care of the farm. This made the farmer quite pleased. One night, the wind blew strongly. The farmer rushed to wake Robby up, asking him to tie things up at once. But Robby refused calmly, repeating that he could sleep in the wind.
The farmer got angry and decided to fire(解雇) him. Yet when he went outside, he realized everything was ready and safe from the storm. Robby could sleep peacefully because he made full preparations earlier. The story tells us that being well prepared means having nothing to fear.
29. Why did most people refuse to work on the man's farm?
30. Where was Robby when he saw a man with a heavy box?
31. How did the farmer feel when he saw Robby for the first time on his farm?
32. What did Robby and the farmer have to do when the storm came?
33. Do you think Robby is a good helper? Why or why not?
