There was a man in the State of Song who had an impatient disposition.

宋國有個(gè)人，是個(gè)急性子。

Day and night he longed for the seedlings in the field to grow tall and strong quickly.

他日日夜夜盼望田里的秧苗快快長高長大。

But the seedlings grew very slowly,not as quickly as he hoped.

可是，秧苗長得很慢，沒有像他所希望的那樣長得快。

One day, he hit upon a good idea.

有一天，他想出了一個(gè)好辦法。

He sneaked to the field andpulled each seedling up a little bit from the soil.

他自己睜哨地跑到田里，把每一棵秧苗都從泥土里往上拔高了一些。

Seeing that all these edlings in the field were taller than before, he felt very pleased with himself.

看到田里的秧苗都比原來高了，他心里感到樂滋滋的。

He went home. Though all worn out, he told the members of his family happily:

回到家里，他雖然筋疲力盡，但是非常高興地告訴家人說:

"I worked for a whole day today.

“今天，我干了一整天。

How tired I am! But the seedlings in the field have grown a lot taller."

好累啊!不過，田里的秧苗倒是長高好多了?！?/p>

When his son heard that the seedlings had grown taller, he hurried to the field to take a look.

他的兒子聽說秧苗長高了，連忙跑到田里去看。

Oh, what a mess!Instead of growing taller, the seedlings had all started to wither.

一看，可糟啦!不是秧苗長高了，而是秧苗都開始枯萎了。
