B

One day, Andy was on his trip to business. While walking past a village, he saw many people busy with their work in a large field. At that moment, a young man who sat by the road caught his attention.

Andy wondered why the young man was free in such a busy season. Then he went up and asked, "Have you grown your vegetables?"

The young man shook his head and sighed, "Not yet! I'm worrying about the weather. If there is a storm, my vegetables may be destroyed. If it is too cold, the seeds may not come out from the ground at all. If it is too hot, the seeds may even go bad in the soil."

Andy nodded his head and asked again, "Then, have you grown rice?" The young man thought for a while, and answered, "Not yet. I'm worried about the birds. They may eat the rice. I can't take that risk." Andy was very surprised. "So, what have you grown then?"

The farmer replied, "I haven't grown anything. I am waiting for the best time! I must make sure that nothing is going to destroy my plants."

Of course, the best time never came. And the young man didn't get anything from the field at last.
