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.”

I was just 13 when my mother left this world. It was a time when I didn't even know the meaning of re?lations and the effect of losing someone close to heart. Like anyone else,I also love my mother so much. Still remember I was so young and every afternoon used to play with other children in my playground. Just a few days before that incident she used to call me to stay at home and to be with her but most of the time I ignored or just said " I am coming. I am coming. " like any other kid of that age and continued to play with friends. Obviously I just could even think in my dream what was going to happen in next few days. My friends and badminton were more important at that time. I still used to see her in my dream in the same situation call?ing me to stay at home but I am busy in playground. Now whenever I wake up with this dream I spend my entire day in tears and blaming myself for not being there with her when she needed me and now when I need her she is no longer with me.

This incident had a great effect on my life. I real?ized that never ignore anyone who needs you especially if they are your loved ones. In the last 17 years,I un?derstood the value of each relation,and this is a big reason now why I care everyone so much. I know how much it pains when you lose someone close to your heart. With this,I just want to say that you should love every person you connect with and value each rela?tion as we never know what is going to happen in the next moment. Life is too short so just keep smiling and live happily.
