Story Summary

A farmer uses his wisdom to solve the village's problems.

In a far - away Russia, there is a peaceful small village. There lives a very wise farmer in this village. This village has been facing a lot of problems all along. For example, the crops are always damaged by some small animals from nowhere, and the water source is also intermittent, which makes the villagers look worried.

The farmer is checking in the field

This wise farmer decided to find out the reason why the crops were damaged. He came to the field early every day to check and carefully observed every crop. He found some small footprints around the crops, and these footprints didn't seem to be those of the domestic animals in the village. So, he followed the footprints all the way and finally found a group of little hedgehogs in a small cave. It turned out that when the little hedgehogs were looking for food, they accidentally damaged the crops. The farmer wasn't angry. Instead, he came up with a good idea. He cleared a small piece of land on the edge of the village and planted the fruits that the little hedgehogs liked to eat, so that the little hedgehogs didn't need to damage the crops any more.

The farmer is talking with the villagers beside the well

After solving the problem of the crops, the farmer began to focus on the problem of the water source. He got together with the villagers beside the well to discuss. Everyone was very puzzled and didn't know why the water source was unstable. The farmer carefully examined the situation around the well and found some small cracks in the well wall, which might be the reason for the water loss. The farmer called several strong young villagers and together they used the materials made of stones and soil to repair the well wall. With everyone's efforts, the well wall was repaired and the water source became stable.

The farmer is speaking at the village meeting

The problems in the village were solved one by one, and the villagers were full of gratitude to the farmer. At a village meeting, the farmer stood up to speak. He told the villagers that as long as everyone united as one and faced the problems with wisdom, there would be no difficulties that could not be solved. Since then, under the leadership of the farmer, this village has become more and more prosperous and the villagers' lives have become more and more happy.
