Long long ago, in ancient China, there lived a farmer. He was worried that his seedlings (秧苗) grew too slowly.
One day, he went to the fields (田地) and pulled up the seedlings one by one. When he returned home, he was exhausted (筋疲力尽的). “I am tired out today,” he said to his family, “I helped the seedlings grow.”
His son was surprised. He hurried to the fields to see what had happened. It turned out that all the seedlings had shriveled up (枯萎).
