My child is doing a homework assignment on homophones. We are stumped on this one. Could use some help using the word "hale" correctly in a sentence

The meaning of the word 'hale' is 'vigorous or healthy' but it is rarely used except in the expression 'hale and hearty'. That's probably the only time you'll ever see it used.

Dictionary definition is strong and healthy. "Most farmers are hale and hearty". How is that for a simple sentence?
