Once there was a farmer who was impatient for doing things. He wanted the seedlings he planted to grow fast and give him a big harvest quickly. But the truth was, the young seedlings need time to grow, and they can’t be rushed. He then thought about this for many days. Later one day, he got an idea. He ran to his field and gently pulled up all the seedlings a little bit. He thought this would make them grow faster. He looked at his seedlings happily for a while. When he got home, he told his family, “It’s been a long day! But the seedlings have grown taller.” His son heard this and got worried and went to the field to see what a mess. The seedlings were all brown and dying.
This story shows us that when we try to do things that against its natural law, we will make mistakes. It’s just like an English saying, “Haste makes waste.”
