The Impatient Farmer
Page 1
Once upon a time, there was an old farmer. He was very tired because he worked hard his whole life.
Page 2
The farmer did not want to work hard anymore. “This year, I will only grow rice. My life will be easier” said the farmer.

A few weeks passed, but the rice was growing slowly. The farmer was worried.

The farmer checked the rice every day, but the plants did not grow quickly.

“I do not have enough food,” said the farmer. “I need to make my rice grow faster!”

The farmer said, “I do not want to wait any more.” Then, he pulled each plant up a little bit. “This will make them grow,” he said.

That night, the farmer went home early. Before he went to bed, he said, “When I wake up, my plants will be tall!”

But, the next day, he saw that all the plants were dead! He could not believe his eyes.

His son said, “When you pulled up the plants, you killed them. You should always be patient.”

The old man understood his mistake. He said, “I will never be impatient again.”
