The Farmer

There was once a farmer who owned huge cornfields. In the neighbourhood, he grew the
best corn. Every year, he won first place at the state fair, and in late summer, everyone
came to his fields to sample his delicious crop.

A news reporter visited the farmer one day to interview him and learn about his secrets to

success. The farmer would always share his best-producing seeds with the nearby farms,
according to the reporter's study days before the interview.

When it came time for the interview, the reporter had a powerful question prepared for
him. "Sir, why do you share your best seeds with your neighbours, knowing that they will
enter their corn into the competition against you?" the reporter asked. Isn't this going to
make it more difficult for you to win?"
Before responding, the farmer lifted his head and took a long breath. "During the season,
as the strong wind blows over the fields, pollen from ripening corn gets whirled from
field to field," the farmer explained. The most important thing to remember is that if my
neighbours grow low-quality corn, cross-pollination will eventually lower the quality of
my own corn. As a result, if I wish to grow wonderful corn, I must also assist my
neighbour in growing good corn."

We must recognise the importance of enriching the lives of others in order to live a
meaningful and happy life. We find true satisfaction when we share it with others.

Moral of the Story

Everyone benefits when we give and share happily and take thankfully.
