Explanation:

These questions are related to the story of "War Horse" (likely the novel or film). Here are brief explanations and answers for each:

1. Why does the father need to purchase a horse?

In the context of "War Horse", the father (Ted Narracott) purchases a horse (Joey) to plow the rocky field on their farm, as he wants to prove to his landlord (who doubts his ability to farm that land) that he can do it, and a horse is needed for plowing such difficult terrain.

If Albert (the father's son) can't train Joey to plow the farm field, the family will likely be unable to grow crops on the rocky land. This would mean they can't pay the rent to the landlord, and they might lose their farm or face severe financial hardship.

A heavy rainstorm softened the previously hard, rocky soil of the field. This made it much easier for Joey to plow the field, as the soil was no longer as compact and difficult to break through.

Answer:

The father (Ted Narracott) needs to purchase a horse (Joey) to plow the rocky field on his farm to prove to the landlord he can farm that land, as a horse is required for plowing the difficult terrain.

2. What will happen if Albert cannot train Joey properly for the farm?
