It was hot in summer. Some farmers were working hard in the field. A farmer was complaining（抱怨） all the time.

Farmer A： Oh， it’s so hot！

Farmer B： Because it’s summer.

Farmer A： I’m so tired.

Farmer C： Me， too. But we need to work.

Farmer A： I don’t want to work.

Farmer C： No work， no crops（莊稼）.

Farmer A： Ah ...

Farmer B： Stop complaining and do your work.

Farmer A： I want a pie from the sky（天上的馅饼）.

Farmer C：You are having a daydream！

Farmer A： Hum！

The farmer was unhappy. He walked to a tree and sat down. Look！ He was sleeping now.

At this time， some rabbits were running quickly to the field.

Rabbit A： Rabbits！ Run quickly！

Rabbit B： Yes！ A tiger is running after us.

Rabbit C： I’m afraid！

Rabbit A： Don’t worry！

Rabbit B： We can hide（躲） somewhere.

Rabbit C： Where？ Where？ Where to hide？

Rabbit A&B： Hey！ Look out！

Rabbit C： Oh， no！

A rabbit ran into the tree and fainted.

The farmer was waked up by the noise. He was excited to find a rabbit. Then he caught the rabbit and ran to the other farmers.

Farmer A： Look， guys！

Farmer B： What’s up？

Farmer A： A rabbit！ I caught a rabbit！

Farmer B： How did you catch it？

Farmer A： It ran into the tree and died. I didn’t do anything.

Farmer C： Really？

Farmer A：  It’s true！

Farmer C： You are so lucky！

Farmer A：  Haha ... It’s a rabbit from the sky！

Next day， the farmer walked to the field slowly. The other farmers were working in the field.

Farmer A： Good morning.

Farmer B： Good morning？ It’s afternoon now！ Why do you come so late？

Farmer A： I don’t work anymore.

Farmer C： Why？ If you don’t work hard， your crops will die.

Farmer A： I will wait under the tree for more rabbits. Rabbits will be my dinner.

Farmer B： Just in your dreams！

Farmer A： Hum！ I will prove（证明） it！

The farmer sat under the tree and waited. Soon he fell asleep.

Crop A： Farmer， farmer， we are thirsty. Please feed us water.

Crop B： Farmer， farmer， we are hungry. Please feed us

manure（肥料）.

Crop C： Farmer， farmer， we don’t like the weeds（杂草）.

Please help us！

When the farmer woke up， he didn’t see any rabbits.

Farmer A： No rabbit？ What a bad day！ I’ll come and wait

tomorrow.

The farmer didn’t work in his field anymore， so his crops had withered（枯死）.

The other farmers had a big harvest（收获）. They were very happy.

Farmer B： What a big year！

Farmer C： Yes！ A big harvest！

Farmer B： Look at my corns. They’re so big.

Farmer C： My pumpkins grow well， too.

Farmer B： How many rabbits did you catch？

Farmer A： Forget it. No more rabbits. I have nothing.

Farmer B： No pain， no gain（不劳则无获）.

Farmer C： We should create（创造） happy life by our own hands.

Farmer A： Yes， you are right. I won’t be lazy anymore.
