once upon a time several years ago, a rooster got himself a rabbit to harvest his wheat for him. the wheat field is located several miles away from the barn where the rooster lives and for that chore promised the rabbit a carrot everyday.the rabbit lived in an underground hole a few kilometers away from the wheat field. each day he would walk to the field, harvest the wheat and walked several miles to get to the rooster's barn. as promised, the rooster gave him a carrot at the end of the day.
this went on for several months till one day, the rooster told the rabbit to milk his cow which was grazing just a few feet away from the field. it was an added chore but since it was on his way, the rabbit obliged. so every morning from then on, he would harvest the wheat and milk the cow then walked several miles to get to the rooster's barn. as promised, the rooster gave him a carrot at the end of the day.
this went on for several months till one day, the rooster told the rabbit to get honey from his honey farm which was a few feet away from the field and a few yards away from where the cow was grazing. it was an added chore but since it was on his way, the rabbit obliged. so every morning from then on, he would harvest the wheat, milk the cow and gather honey then walked several miles to get to the rooster's barn. as promised, the rooster gave him a carrot at the end of the day.
this went on for several months till one day, the rooster told the rabbit to harvest the corns from his corn farm which was a few feet away from the field, a few yards away from where the cow was grazing and just beside the honey farm. it was an added chore but since it was on his way, the rabbit obliged. so every morning from then on, he would harvest the wheat, milk the cow, gather honey and harvested the corn then walked several miles to get to the rooster's barn. as promised, the rooster gave him a carrot at the end of the day.
days, weeks, months and years passed. from harvesting wheat to milking the cow to gathering honey to harvesting corns, the rabbit now plows the fields, plants and waters the wheat and corn. he also moves the cow to greener grass and makes a new beehive each time a new queen bee was born. he also cleans the barn and feed the rooster's pigs, goats, ducks, dogs and horses. he also mows the rooster's lawn. as promised, the rooster gave the rabbit a carrot before he goes home.
the rabbit did his chores without question, though he felt more and more exhausted at the end of the day. he consoled himself with the knowledge that he now knew how to plant wheat and corn, milk a cow, gather honey and make beehives. besides, the farm animals were now his friends.
this went on for several more months till one day, the rooster told the rabbit to harvest the peas from his pea field which was a few feet away from the corn and wheat field, a few yards away from where the cow was grazing and just beside the honey farm. and, the peas were to be removed from the pea pods and laid out to dry under the sun.
the next morning, the rabbit went to the barn with no wheat or corn, no milk or honey. he went to the rooster and asked him to look for another rabbit to do the chores--for some time now, he had been contemplating about planting his own carrots and has decided to do just that. the rabbit then said goodbye to all his farm friends and walked on home.
