Once upon a time, there was a hardworking farmer who cultivated a rice paddy. When the harvest season arrived, he worked diligently every day, sweating profusely. However, the weather was unkind, and it rained for several consecutive days, flooding the paddy field. The farmer was distraught, and he repeatedly prayed to heaven, hoping that the rain would stop and his rice would be safe. He even went to the village's land temple to burn incense, praying for divine protection. Fortunately, the rain eventually stopped, and the farmer's rice was saved. From then on, he had even more respect for nature and cherished the fruits of his labor even more.
