The Seed That Needed Time

A farmer planted a seed and checked for sprouts the next day. Nothing.

He checked again the following day. Still nothing.

He dug up the seed to see if it was growing. In doing so, he killed it.

His neighbor planted seeds and checked them with growing intervals — day two, day four, day eight. She gave the seeds time to do what seeds needed to do.

Her crops flourished. His patience had been too narrow.
