NAME:
During harvest, a grain of wheat fell to the ground. There he waited for the rain to bury him.
Then an ant appeared and began to drag him to the anthill.
- Please leave me alone! – protested the grain of wheat.
- But we need you in the anthill - said the ant - if we do not have you to feed, we will starve in winter.
“But I'm a living seed,” complained the wheat. – I wasn't meant to be eaten. I must be buried in the ground so that a new plant can grow from me.
“Maybe,” said the ant, “but this is too complicated for me.
And he continued to drag the wheat.
- Hey, wait - said the wheat - I have an idea. Let's make a Deal!
- An agreement? - Asked the ant.
- That's right. You leave me in the field, and next year I'll give you a hundred grains.
“You're kidding,” said the ant in disbelief.
– No, I promise you a hundred Grains like me next year.
– A hundred grains of wheat to give up just one? – said the ant, suspicious. - How are you going to do that?
“Don't ask me,” replied the wheat, “it's a mystery I can't explain. Trust me.
“I trust you,” said the ant, who left the grain of wheat in her place.
And the following year, when the ant came back, the wheat had kept its promise.
