The Illiterate Farmer

A group of learned professors chose to spend a relaxing vacation at a remote farm - far from the madding crowd of the city they lived in. Their host was a simple farmer who had never seen the inside of a school.

The professors were astonished to see the order and discipline the farm functioned. Corn and wheat grew a plenty in the fields; the orchard yielded delicious fruits; healthy cows and calves gazed peacefully on the green meadows. The little farm prospered beautifully.

"How did you manage all this?" they asked the humble farmer.

"I am afraid I am uneducated," he replied. "So I only use my brains."
