OPINION

TOM GRAY, Justice.

Ronnie Gafford thought he had the opportunity of a lifetime. He believed Leo Batto offered him his farm in return for taking care of Batto and his wife and for taking care of the farm. The Gaffords uprooted their home, cleared a plot on and moved to the Batto farm, and began working for Batto. Gafford provided hay; he penned and hauled cattle; he made bridges; he cleared land; and he built and mended fences.
