Once upon a time, there was a farmer working in his field. Soon he was very tired so he sat near a big tree. A hare ran out of a hole. When it saw the farmer, it was very afraid. It ran so quickly that its head knocked against the stump. It died soon. The farmer was very excited to see it. He picked up the dead hare and took it home for dinner. He was very happy.
______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
From that day on, he didn't farm. He stayed by that tree, waiting for hares to come again. In the end the farmer couldn't get anything again because he was very lazy.
The story teaches us that we can't only depend on luck. We need to work hard to get what we want.
