【大纪元6月6日讯】
宋国有个农夫，天天都在田里看稻子。可是稻子长得慢，农夫心里有点担心。
一天，农夫又如常地往田间去时，脑子忽然闪出一个妙想天开的主意。农夫加快步伐，赶往田间，并跳下田去，小心地将每一棵稻子，从泥土里拔高了一些。
农夫完成工作后，就拖着疲乏的身体回家。
回到家里，大声对妻子说：“今天真是累透了！”
妻子问：“你在外面究竟忙了些什么？”农夫得意洋洋地回答说：“我在帮稻子长高啊！”
儿子听了，欢天喜地地跑去田间。夕阳西下，暮色苍茫，从远处望去，只见田里的稻子全都枯死了。
Helping The Seedlings Grow
The was once a farmer in the State of Song. Every day he would go to the paddy fields to check on the growth of his seedlings. Because the seedlings were growing very slowly, he became rather worried.
One day, when the farmer was on his way to the fields, a wild idea suddenly flashed through his head. He hurried on his way and jumped into the field.
With great care, he lifted each seedling up a little from the soil. When the day's work was done, he dragged his weary body home, feeling very content.
As soon as he got to the door, he hollered to his wife, "Wife, I'm totally exhausted!"
"What did you do in the fields today?" asked his wife.
"Go to the fields and see for yourself!" replied the man proudly. "I helped the seedlings grow."
On hearing these words, his son ran joyfully to the paddy fields. It was now sunset, and dusk was shrouding the whole earth. From a distance the little boy could see that the seedlings in the paddy fields had all withered and died.
