Jeff is a hard-working farmer. He grows very good corn (玉米), and he often wins the corn competitions.
One day, a newspaper reporter found that Jeff shared his seed (种子) corn with his neighbors.
Why do you share your best seed corn with your neighbors? They also take part in the competitions, the reporter asked.
Jeff answered, "Didn't you know? The wind picks up pollen (花粉) from the corn and blows it from field to field. If my neighbors grow bad corn, my corn will be bad, too. If I want to grow good corn, I must help my neighbors grow good corn.
This is the truth about life. You can't improve your corn if your neighbors' corn doesn't improve.
If you want to live well, you should help others to live well. If you want to be at peace, you should help others to be at peace. If you want to be happy, you should help others to get happiness. Your happiness and the happiness of others go together.
