Переведите !! Срочно !!A grain of wheat, left alone in the field after the harvest,
was waiting for the rain so that it could hide once more beneath
the soil.
2 An ant saw the grain, loaded it onto his back, and plodded
painfully away toward his distant hill.
3 As the ant walked and walked, the grain of wheat seemed to
grow heavier and heavier on his weary shoulders.
4 “Why don’t you leave me here?” said the grain of wheat.
5 The ant replied, “If I leave you behind, we may not have
enough provisions for this winter. We ants are so many, and we
each have to bring home whatever food we can find.”
6“But I am not made only to be eaten,” went on the grain of
wheat. “I am a seed, full of life, and I am supposed to give birth
to a plant. Listen, dear ant, let us make an agreement.”
7 The ant, glad to rest a little, put down the grain of wheat
and asked, “What agreement?”
8 “If you leave me here in my field,” said the grain of wheat,
“and do not take me to your nest, I shall give back to you, after
a year, a hundred grains just like me.”
9 The ant stared at the grain disbelievingly.
10 “Yes, dear ant. Believe what I am telling you. If you
give me up today, I shall give you a hundred of me—a hundred
grains of wheat for your nest.”
The ant thought, “A hundred grains in exchange for one.
But that is a miracle. How will you do that?” he asked the grain
of wheat.
12 “That is a mystery,” replied the grain of wheat. “It is the
mystery of life. Dig a little hole, bury me in it, and return after a
year.”
13 The following year the ant returned. The grain of wheat
had grown a new plant laden with seeds and so kept its promise .
