In the East there lived a Fool, who went one day to his fields and said: "I sowed a month ago; should the crops stand two months more, I shall get three hundred bushels of corn. But I am in a hurry, so if I should reap now, I dare say I shall have one hundred bushels at least."  
A Crane who heard his words said: "If I were you, I should have all the three hundred bushels this very day."
 
"How?" said the Fool.
 
"Why," said the Crane, "you stored up water in the tank to feed the crops for three months. A month has elapsed, so water enough for two months more remains in the tank. Should you open the sluices and let all the water flow into the fields, you will have all the corn at once."
 
"Are you sure I shall have all the corn at once?" said the Fool.
