A poor peasant farmer who only grows to feed his family was given a chinese bamboo seed to plant by his friend. The friend told him the seed is called the "magic plant" which will grow to become a huge plantation and make him a lot of money.. The farmer took the seeds and went to plant them with excitement and immerse believe that very soon he would be a millionaire when he harvest.. He walked home to tell his family with joy and started shouting, dancing which made all the villagers (neighbours) wonder whats making this wretched poor farmer so happy.. He always wakes up in the morning with joy and walks in the middle of the village to his farm to water the seeds for it to shoot up quick and grow so he can harvest.. He did that every morning so the villagers still wondered where this man goes every morning with joy and his water can so one day they followed him to see what he was up to.. 6months passed & the farmer saw no sign of a seedling. But he still went on to water the bare soil hoping they shoot up soon. 1 year came, still NOTHING.... 2years....3years STIL NOTHING ! The farmer started to ask himself many questions..... Ah did he plant them wrongly ? Was the watering too much or less ? or did the friend lie to him ? Buh that friend has never disappointed him because he is very honest n truthful . The villagers begun to laugh & mock him anytime he passes by to water them.. But after all these thoughts and pain he still continued to water them with little hope.. 4years...... 5years passed still NOTHING... For 5years the farmer has been feeding these seeds hoping to see a seedling but he saw NOTHING ! Tears flowed down his cheeks as he came one morning to water them with his last hope, strength and drop of water.. He went home in tears as the villagers teased n insulted him but got a little consolation from his family.. He went to his farm one morning to just till the land grow his little crops he grows to feed his family but to his suprise his saw so many little shoots of seedlings which had sprung up all over the field... He was soo amazing & shouted aloud runnig back home to call his family to come see the extraodinary.. All the villagers also followed them to see what has happend. The farmer said aloud.. Yes THE MIRACLE has happened. The man shortly forget the pain, trouble and tears he been through & was majestically all over the village cos he will be rich in no time. He now continued to water the seedlings as he watched them grow... 1 feet tall....2...3....6....10....15...18...19....20 Feet tall... Wooow 5years of tears, sorrow & pain and in just 4weeks the magic chinese bamboo tree has grown 20 FEET TALL....... its Amazing ! He said this is very miracolous indeed.... The harvest time came and the farmer now cut down ten thousands of bamboo from his enormous Bamboo plantation which made him a chunk of money that can even take care of his family up to his 5 generation. He then become one of the TOP richest man ever. And now all the villagers together their family also tooks buckets of water to go water their field hoping to be like the farmer the use to insult and mock.. ( very funny) Morale: when you are on a good course never give up in life even if everything around you is against you 2. Always ignore or pay no attention to dream killers (people who laugh at you and tell you, uu cant make it) 3. Its okay to cry sometimes when all is not well but after dont let the tears drown uu buh rada dry them & go hard ! What did u also learn ? Pls share to all ! #Bless#
