One bamboo farmer learned the value of patience after he planted bamboo seeds.
He was a poor farmer with very little to feed his family. In hopes of better days, he obtained bamboo seeds. He knew the seeds would take time to mature into the bamboo, but he didn’t know how long. To provide for his family he planted the seeds in faith.
Every day the farmer tended his bamboo seeds.
One years passed, then two, then three. Yet, no signs surfaced from the soil to tell him the bamboo seeds were growing.
The people in the village watched him tending the soil. They thought the farmer lost his mind. And told him so. But he kept on tending his bamboo seeds. Watering them every day.
Four years passed and the farmer kept watering and tending to the seeds. Still, no sign of the bamboo came. He began to doubt himself. Maybe, he’d done something wrong. Not enough water or nutrients.
Finally, when the fifth year came, he’d almost given up. The people in the village no longer teased him. They spoke under their breath about him and his unlucky bamboo.
One morning he went to the field where he’d planted the bamboo to water one last time. It was then the farmer began to scream and shout for joy.
The bamboo was growing. He could see them coming from the ground. He could almost see them growing right before his eyes. Before long the emerging bamboo plant had grown 90 ft tall. He harvested and reaped the benefits for his family.
From the strong roots which developed over the past five years came more and more bamboo ready to grow. The farmer not only benefited his family but the generations to come.
