In the early days of human history,people survived by hunting wild ani?mals,or gathering wild grains and plants for food. Then,some people learn?ed to grow crops and raise animals for food. They were the first farmers.

Since the 16th century,the word "farm" has meant agricultural land. But a much older meaning of the word " farm" is linked to economics. The word "farm" comes from the Latin word, "firma", which means an unchanging payment.

Experts say the earliest meaning of the English word "farm" was a yearly payment made as a tax or rent.

Farmers in early England did not own their land. They paid every year to use agricultural land.

Farmers know that it is necessary to make hay (干草) while the sun shines.

Hay has to be cut and gathered when it is dry. So a wise farmer never postpones gathering his hay when the sun is shining. Rain may soon appear.

A wise person copies the farmer. He works when conditions are right.

A new mother,for example,quickly learns to try to sleep when her baby is quiet,even in the middle of the day. If the mother delays,she may lose her chance to .sleep. So,the mother learns "to make hay while the sun shines".

Beans are a popular farm crop. But beans are used to describe something of very little value in the expression "not worth a hill of beans". The expres?sion is often used today.

You could say,for example,that a bad idea is " not worth a hill of beans". Language expert Charles Earle Funk said the expression was first used almost seven hundred years ago. He said Robert of Gloucester described a message from the King of Germany to King John of England as altogether "not worth a bean.”
