enterprise
that made a lot
of money. He knew how to
maximize monetary
gains in every business deal he made. Bill
had one big problem, though. He was unhappy all the time. Bill knew that he had to do
something about it, or he would be depressed for the rest of his life.
One day, Bill was in his office when he heard a knock at the door. “Come in!” Bill said
loudly.
His
accountant,
Jane, walked in. Jane said, “Sir, I haven’t seen you smile in a year. What
are you so sad about? Your company is doing very well.”
Bill told her, “I’m
indifferent
about my company’s success. I have
contempt
toward my
job. I just want to do something I enjoy. I’ve always loved growing plants as a hobby. I’m
going to quit my job and become a farmer!”
“You’re crazy!” Jane said.
“I don’t think so,” Bill replied. “1 want the
simplicity
of a life on a farm. I’m tired of all
this stress. Farming will make me happy.”
The very next day, Bill carried out the
preliminary
task of buying land and tools. Then he
got to work. He
sowed
many types of seeds. He planted
soy,
cabbage, carrots, and onions.
“The
upcoming
summer is going to be very dry,” thought Bill. “I need to
irrigate
my
crops as a
precaution,
in case it doesn’t rain enough.”
He took his
spade
and dug a
ditch
down the middle of
his farm. “Water from the stream will flow down the
ditch and
saturate
the soil around every plant,” Bill
thought.
Bill
dedicated
himself to farming. After a year,
his farm looked
exquisite.
Most importantly,
Bill was happy. He finally had the life he always
wanted.
