On a quiet farm of bare brown dirt, a farmer in a yellow hat and blue overalls waters his seedlings every morning. Days pass. Seasons of sunrises blur by. He waters, and waters, and nothing grows, and his serious face never changes. One afternoon a grumpy little bird lands on the fence, stares at him, and poops on a seedling. By the next morning, that one plant has grown into a full, healthy crop. The farmer looks at the plant. He looks at the bird. He walks off and comes back with a bucket. For days he follows the bird around the farm, holding the bucket underneath it with total concentration, while the bird glares back at him. When the bucket is full, he splashes it across every row in the field. The farm explodes into green: carrots, cabbages, tomatoes, pumpkins. He harvests armfuls of vegetables, still not smiling. Then he sets down a small dish of bird food inside an open cage and waits. The bird hops in. The door clicks shut. And for the first time, the farmer smiles.
