Many years ago, there lived a hermit in a forest
in Sumatera. He did not grow foods but depended on
the jungle to survive. Soon, there was a drought, all the
plants and fruit trees in the jungle died
The old man had nothing to eat now, so he
turned to begging. He went to nearby village trying to
get some food. At first, the villagers were very happy to
help him. However, when he came continually, they
refused to give him any more food. They told him to
grow his own food.
One day, while the hermit was sitting in his hut,
sad and hungry, he began to think about growing his
own food. Just then a boatman stopped by and taking
on the hermit, gave him some rice seeds.
Before the boatman went away, he said,
“These seeds will grow and give you everlasting harvest
if you work very hard. If you are tired of the work, the
rice plants will turn into weeds”.
The old hermit worked hard to clear the land
and sowed the seeds before the rains came. Strangely,
after a short period of time, the rice was ready for
harvesting. The old man got a lot of rice from the
harvest. After each harvest, the plants grew back again
right away.
When the villagers heard about the hermit and
his wonderful rice, they flocked to his rice-field and
took home as much rice as they could.
One day, the hermit became so tired of harvesting
the rice that she shouted. “Oh, stop growing, you
wretched thing!” As soon as he had said this, the rice
plants turned into weeds.

In autumn, the color of the leaves changes into
beautiful yellow, red, and brown. Do you know how
this happens? To answer the questions, first we have
to understand about leaves.
Leaves are the food factories of plants. Plants take
water from the ground through their roots and they
take carbon dioxide from the air. Plants need glucose
for energy and for their growth.
The plants use sunlight to turn water and
carbon dioxide into glucose. The process is called
photosynthesis and substances process. The trees will
rest, and use the food that they have stored during
summer. The trees begin to close their food factories.
The green chlorophyll substance disappears from the
leaves. As the leaves begin to lose their green color,
they change into beautiful yellow and orange.
In some trees, like maple tree, glucose is
trapped in the leaves after the photosynthesis process
stops. Sunlight and cool rights turn the green color of
the leaves into red. Oak leaves become brown because
of wastes that are left in the leaves. This combination
of red and brown makes the trees look very beautiful in
autumn.
