Once upon a time, in a small village between two mountains,
lived two farmers: Tom and Jack. Both farmers had good land from their
families, and each wanted to grow a garden.
Tom worked hard every day. He woke up early, chose the best
seeds, and planted them in straight rows. He watered his plants, pulled out
weeds, and made sure his garden got enough sunlight. Tom believed that hard
work and care would give him a good harvest.
Jack was different. He threw seeds all over his garden
without much thought. He didn't water his plants often and spent most of his
time relaxing by the river or talking with friends. Jack thought nature would
take care of everything and he didn't need to work hard.
After a few weeks, Tom’s garden looked beautiful. Flowers
bloomed, and vegetables grew big and healthy. People in the village admired
Tom’s garden and often asked him for advice.
Jack’s garden, however, was a mess. Weeds grew everywhere,
and the few plants that sprouted were weak. The soil became dry and poor.
People felt sorry for Jack and his neglected garden.
One day, a bad drought hit the village. The river dried up,
and the sun was very hot. Many villagers struggled to find food and water. But
Tom had prepared for hard times. His strong plants and saved rainwater helped
him keep his garden alive.
Tom's garden produced enough food for his family and the
villagers. He shared his harvest with everyone, so no one went hungry. Jack
realized he had made a mistake. He went to Tom and asked for help, admitting
that he had not taken care of his garden properly.
Tom gladly helped Jack. He taught him how to work hard, be
consistent, and use the right gardening techniques. Slowly, Jack’s garden
started to get better. It took time, but with Tom’s help, Jack learned the
value of hard work and care.
By the end of the season, Jack’s garden was also doing well.
He understood that both nature and human effort are important. The villagers
celebrated the great harvest from both gardens. They were happy to see that
working together and sharing knowledge brought success to everyone.
The village thrived, not just because of the fertile land,
but because of the hard work, shared knowledge, and the lesson of the two
gardens: hard work and care lead to success, and it is never too late to change
and make things better.
