故事標題:The Miracle of the Watermelon
Once upon a time, a farmer in a small village had a watermelon that grew to be the biggest and sweetest he had ever seen. Everyone in the village was amazed by its size and flavor, and the farmer became famous for his superb watermelon.
One day, a rich merchant from a distant city came to the village and heard of the farmer's famous watermelon. He was interested in buying it, but the farmer refused, saying that he would only sell it to the first person who could grow a watermelon that could beat his own.
The merchant was determined to beat the farmer's watermelon and won the challenge. However, he took advantage of the farmer's generosity and cheated him by planting only one seed in his own field, where he grew a watermelon that was even sweeter than the farmer's.
The farmer was angry and wanted to confront the merchant, but he knew he could not win a fair fight against a powerful merchant. He prayed to God for help, and a week later, God sent a huge storm to destroy the merchant's entire crop. The merchant was so grateful for what he had received from the farmer that he decided to buy the farmer's watermelon.
In the end, both farmer and merchant became richer and they learned a valuable lesson about generosity, fairness, and the power of prayer.
The moral of the story is: Sometimes you need to let go of your pride and give something away in order to receive more in return. The world is full of opportunities waiting to be found and taken advantage of if you're willing to be generous with what you have.
