A Lesson

Joe was a farmer. His farmland was so poor that he hadn't had good harvests for years.

"If God lets me control the weather, then everything will get better," he complained. "I'm a farmer. I know what's the best for crops to grow than God does."

God told him that he would control all kinds of weather. "Let's see what your crops will grow like." God said.

On hearing this, Joe was excited and immediately shouted, "Sunny!" Suddenly the clouds went away.

He was pleased and shouted again, "Rainy!" The sky was covered with dark clouds right away, then after a while, heavy rain poured down.

Watching the seeds growing bigger and bigger and becoming crops, Joe felt much satisfied. Then, the harvest season came.

He went to the field to get his crops. But his heart suddenly sank（下沉）when he found the strong crops even hadn't grown a grain. He was quite confused and started to cry. Once again, God heard him.

"Do you want to know why you still don't get the good harvest you want?" God asked. "That's because you never asked for wind, rainstorm, snow and ice, or anything that could make the air fresher and the roots stronger. Without strong roots, of course the crops won't grow any fruit. "

After he realized this, Joe asked God to take back the power. It turned out that only through life's challenges would we reap（收获）the fruit of life.
