The Little Pig Plants Corn
The little pig was very lazy and didn’t like to work. While all the other animals were out in the fields planting crops, he stayed at home snoring away.
The little rabbit came to find the little pig and said, “Little pig, don’t you love eating corn? It’s time to plant some corn!”
“I won’t plant it, it’s too tiring,” the little pig said with his eyes half-closed.
“Sigh, you lazybones!” the little rabbit shook his head and left.
The next day, while the little pig was still sleeping, the little rabbit came again. “Little pig, I want to plant an acre of corn, but I also have to plant carrots. Could you help me sow the corn seeds?”
“Alright,” the little pig agreed.
The little pig went to the field and helped the little rabbit sow the corn seeds.
After some days had passed, the little rabbit came to find the little pig again. “Sorry, my corn needs fertilizing, but I’m very busy. Could you help me fertilize it?”
“Alright,” the little pig agreed.
The little pig went to the cornfield and fertilized the corn.
After some more days had passed, the little rabbit came to find the little pig again. “Little pig, my corn needs weeding, but I’m too busy. Can you help me weed the field?”
“Sure!” the little pig agreed.
The little pig went to the field and helped the little rabbit pull out the weeds in the cornfield.
In the blink of an eye, autumn arrived, and the crops in the field were all mature. The little rabbit came to find the little pig again. “Little pig, my corn is ready for harvest, but I have so many crops to harvest, I can’t manage it all. Can you help me harvest the corn?”
“Alright, I’ll help you harvest,” the little pig said.
The little pig went to the cornfield and picked the ears of corn one by one, putting them into the basket. After picking all the corn from an acre, he filled six baskets. The little pig was about to call the little rabbit to move the corn home, but the little rabbit said, “Congratulations on your bountiful harvest! Quickly take the corn home!”
The little pig was confused. “Isn’t this corn yours?”
“How could it be mine?” the little rabbit laughed, “You sowed the seeds, fertilized them, weeded the field, and harvested the corn yourself. Of course, it’s yours! — You were lazy and didn’t want to plant, so I asked you to help me instead!”
“Is that so? Thank you so much!” The little pig looked at the baskets full of corn, very happy. “Next year I’ll plant more, lots more!”
