　　It was late afternoon. Farmer Lum was walking home from his fields. His feet sank deep in the thick dust. A dry, hot wind blew dust across the brown fields. The raining season was late this year. Everything needed rain. Even the water in the village well was getting low.

　　Every morning Farmer Lum stepped from his house and looked at the sky. But there were no clouds. And every night before he went to bed, he looked at the sky. Even a small cloud might bring rain by morning. But no rain fell.

　　Early one morning several days later Farmer Lum was woken up by a heavy rain. He got up quickly, went to the door, and stepped outside. He held out his hands to catch the cool drops of rain. He breathed deeply. How good the rain smelled!

　　After a few days of rain, the ground was soft enough to be ploughed. Every morning Farmer Lum got up early to drive his ox to the fields. Soon the seed-bed in the corner of the field was ready for planting. He took the grains of rice from the bag carefully because he did not want to lose a single one. Then he planted them in the soft, wet soil.

　　While Farmer Lum planted the rice, his wife planted vegetable seeds in the garden by the house.

　　After a few days Farmer Lum and his wife began to pull the young seedlings(幼苗) from the wet soil and took them to the field to plant. Several months later the rice was ready for harvesting. Again Farmer Lum and his wife went to the field. This time they cut the long yellow stalks(梗), then put them in the sun to dry. Later Farmer Lum dove the ox back and forth over the stalks to loosen(使松开) the grain from them. Then he and his wife tossed (抛) the stalks high in the air, and the grains of rice fell off the stalks onto the ground. Before they finished, they had gathered every grain of rice.

　　When evening came, Farmer Lum sat in front of his house. He smiled, because the rice crop was good. In fact, it was the best rice crop he had ever had. He would have enough to feed his family and there would be some left over to sell. Maybe he would be able to buy a colour TV set.
