The story of waiting for rabbits is urgent

Original text:

People in the Song Dynasty had farmers. There was a plant in the field. A rabbit walked along and touched the plant. It broke its neck and died. Because he released his weeds and guarded the plant, he hoped to get the rabbit again. The rabbit cannot be recovered, but it is the song of Song Dynasty that laughs. ——"Han Feizi"

There was a farmer in the Song Dynasty who worked in the fields every day.

One day, the farmer was working in the fields, and suddenly a hare jumped out of the grass. The hare was frightened by seeing someone. He ran desperately, but unexpectedly hit a tree root in the farmer's field, broke his neck and died. The farmer put down his farm work and walked over to pick up the dead rabbit. He was very grateful for his good luck.

When he got home in the evening, the farmer gave the dead rabbit to his wife. The wife cooked delicious hare meat, and the couple had a wonderful meal talking and laughing.

The next day, the farmer went to work in the fields as usual, but he was no longer as attentive as before. After working for a while, he glanced and listened into the grass, hoping that another rabbit would jump out and hit the tree stump. In this way, he worked absent-mindedly for a day, and he didn't even finish hoeing the land that was supposed to be hoeed. He didn't see any rabbits coming out until dark, so he went home reluctantly.

On the third day, the farmer came to the field and had no intention of hoeing. He put the farm tools aside and sat on the field edge next to the tree stump, waiting for the wild rabbit to come out. But I waited another day in vain.

Later, the farmer stayed by the tree stump like this every day, hoping to pick up another rabbit, but he never got another rabbit. But the seedlings in the farmland withered because of him. The farmer therefore became a joke among people in Song Dynasty.
