Choose to be the first to break the ice!!
However, there was one farmer, named Sharath. Sharath was determined to continue to work in his field, even when he was well aware that it will not rain for another 10 years. When the others saw this, the other farmers teased and made fun of him,
Once all the clouds gathered up chatting and realised they were all tired of their routine. And so, all the clouds unanimously decide that they need to take a break. The decision further paved way for the duration of their break : a day? a week? a month? 10 years !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! was the duration of the break the clouds decided upon.
The word spread quickly. Everyone came to know about the long break of the clouds. The word reached the farmers on land as well. With no choice left, they all retreated from farming and they took a break for 10 years from it as well, as, without rain the farmers didnt have much to do in their farm lands. Everybody were resting, living in leisure.
Sharath calmly replied, "I am aware of the long break of the clouds, but i plough the field to make sure i dont forget cultivation when i need to do it again after the break when the clouds return and it starts to rain." Sharath's answer surprised the other farmers.
A cloud over heard what Sharath said and the cloud got back to the other clouds and they all began to rethink about their decision about the long break. The clouds started to discuss among themselves about what if, after 10 years they all forget how to pour down as rain. They realize their mistake of taking such a long break which might cost them in the long run and they all returned to the planets and started to rain as they were supposed to.
All the farm lands quenched their thirst. After the rain, no other farmland had any sprouts except for Sharath's farmland. All the farmers who were on break, hadnt ploughed nor had they seeded the soil.
Sharaths hardwork paid off ten folds in these unforeseen circumstances.
