FARMER AND WHEAT
农夫和小麦
Once, someone asked a farmer if he planted wheat.
有一次,有人问农夫种没种小麦。
The farmer replied, “No, I'm afraid it won't rain.”
农夫回答:“没种,我怕天不下雨。”
The man asked, “Did you plant cotton, then?”
这人又问:“那你种棉花了吗?”
The farmer said, “No, I'm afraid the worms will eat cotton.”
农夫说:“没种啊,我怕棉虫吃了棉花。”
So the man asked, “What do you plant?”
这人于是又问:“那你种什么?”
The farmer said, “Nothing. I'll ensure everything safe.”
农夫说:“啥也不种,我得确保万无一失。”
