Curious, the grandson inquired, “Why wait, grandfat  her?” The farmer explained, “The right moment will come.”

A week later, the farmer introduced his grandson to his tomato field. He showcased a substantial area where his tomatoes thrived. Observing the boy’s wonder, he asked, “How do you perceive them?”

The boy answered, “They appear robust. Strong stems, green leaves, and smooth, red fruits.”
