Man becomes wise by learning from fools |
While the other person learned a lesson from his impatience and went and buried his three grains in the field. For a month he watered them and took good care of them. A month later, when he saw these plants, three stalks of corn had grown. He collected all the corn cobs from three corn plants and ate them for three days to fill his stomach. With one month of hard work, he made two meals of bread for three days.
The third man watched and learned from the follies of his other two friends. He sowed all three seeds and after a month when the pods appeared on it, he left one plant, removed the seed, and planted it again in the ground. He took a corn cob from the second plant and fed it to his lover and took a corn cob from the third plant and kept it for several days. A month later, more plants sprouted again and he planted a field of corn. He cultivated his field every month and he produced the largest field in the village. He married the same woman and never went hungry again because of his paddy field.
