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.”
The farmer smiled, then directed the boy’s attention to a smaller section of tomato plants. He questioned, “And these? Can you compare?”
The boy shook his head, commenting, “They seem unhealthy. Feeble stems, yellow leaves, and no fruits. What’s the cause?”
The farmer explained, “They’re surrounded by unwanted plants—weeds. These compete for nutrients, hindering their growth.”
