Origin Story
从前，有个农夫辛勤劳作，盼望着丰收。眼看就要秋收了，他每天都去田里察看庄稼的生长情况，生怕错过任何一个细节。一天，他来到田边，发现庄稼已经成熟，喜悦之情溢于言表，恨不得立刻收割。然而，他知道秋收是一项繁重的工程，需要他付出全部精力，不能有丝毫懈怠。他估计了一下，收割全部庄稼需要三天三夜的时间，但他担心时间不够，心里非常着急。于是，他便开始日夜不停地劳作，希望能尽快完成收割。他的妻子在一旁看着，心疼地说：“老爷，您别太累了，休息一下吧。一时一刻的时间，对我们来说确实非常宝贵，但您的身体更重要啊！这几天，您几乎没有合过眼，实在太辛苦了。”农夫这才意识到自己的错误，他放下手中的镰刀，在田埂上休息片刻。看着金色的稻穗在秋风中摇曳，他感到一阵阵满足和幸福。他知道，即使再短的时间，只要用心去经营，也能创造出奇迹。
Once upon a time, there was a farmer who worked diligently, hoping for a bountiful harvest. As the harvest season approached, he went to the fields every day to check on the growth of his crops, afraid of missing any detail. One day, he came to the field and found that his harvest was ripe. He was overjoyed and wanted to start harvesting immediately. However, he knew that harvesting was a laborious task that required all his energy, and he couldn't afford any mistakes. He estimated that harvesting all the crops would take three days and nights, but he was worried that the time wouldn't be enough, and he was very anxious. So he started working day and night without stopping, hoping to finish harvesting as soon as possible. His wife watched him and said sympathetically, “My husband, don't overwork yourself, take a rest. A short moment is indeed precious to us, but your health is even more important! These past few days, you've barely closed your eyes, it's really too hard.” The farmer realized his mistake and put down his sickle to rest by the field. Looking at the golden ears of rice swaying in the autumn wind, he felt a sense of satisfaction and happiness. He knew that even the shortest time, if used carefully, can create miracles.
