Give me just one year to create ideal conditions for the plants. And after a year there will be no hunger or poverty on the earth!
God agreed and the experiment began. It was an amazing time! There was just as much sun as needed, the rain always fell on time. No early frost, no strong wind, no hail, no drought.
More wheat was ugly that year than in the past five years. And she was amazingly beautiful, even, thick and tall! But when people reaped the harvest, they saw that all the ears were empty - there were no grains inside ...
It turned out that only the fight against bad weather and difficulties awakens the soul of wheat, fills the grain with juice and life-giving power.
