Origin Story
话说古代，有一位名叫李明的农夫，他辛勤耕作，盼望着丰收。一年，他种的稻谷长得格外好，眼看就要成熟了。李明知道收割的时机非常重要，如果错过，稻谷就会被雨水打坏或者被鸟雀偷吃。因此，他每天都观察天气，密切关注稻谷的成熟度。终于，在一天清晨，他发现稻谷已经成熟，而且天气晴朗，正是收割的好时机。李明毫不犹豫地召集家人，带上工具，开始收割。他们齐心协力，不失时机地完成了收割工作，获得了丰收的喜悦。
Once upon a time, there was a farmer named Li Ming. He worked diligently and hoped for a bountiful harvest. One year, his rice grew exceptionally well, and it was about to mature. Li Ming knew that the timing of harvesting was crucial. If he missed it, the rice would be damaged by rain or eaten by birds. Therefore, he observed the weather every day and closely monitored the maturity of the rice. Finally, one morning, he found that the rice had matured, and the weather was clear—the perfect time for harvesting. Li Ming immediately gathered his family, brought tools, and began harvesting. They worked together and completed the harvesting work in a timely manner, achieving a joyful harvest.
