Once upon a time, in a remote village, there lived a hardworking farmer. He diligently cultivated his land, hoping for a bountiful harvest. However, that year there was a drought and the harvest was very poor. The farmer was very disappointed. He was sad every day and hoped for a miracle to happen. One day, he went to the market to sell some of his remaining grain. As he was about to go home, he suddenly heard someone selling a special kind of seed. The farmer went over out of curiosity and saw that the seeds were very small, but the owner of the seeds swore that these seeds would grow a bountiful harvest on dry land. The farmer bought some seeds hesitantly and carefully planted them according to the instructions of the seed owner. After a few days, the small seeds miraculously sprouted and grew very lushly. The farmer was overjoyed and took care of them every day. In the autumn, the seeds bore more and fuller fruits than in previous years. The farmer was very happy, he finally harvested a bountiful harvest and finally understood the meaning of hope.
