Well, dearest, what would you tell a farmer who had an over-abundant harvest? To plant less, of course!"...I am not complaining about the frequency of the planting," she said. "I’d just rather not reap a crop every year." She was referring to the fact that although he had a large crop of wheat, he was still planting far too many seeds in his field. He explained that the more seeds he planted in his field, the more likely it was that one or more of them would die and not produce any grain.
