In the toughest times, a little help from others can make a big difference in one's life

Once upon a time, there was a poor farmer who lived in a small village. He had a small piece of land where he grew his crops, but the yield was never enough to sustain his family for the whole year. Despite his hard work and dedication, he struggled to make ends meet.

One year, the farmer faced a severe drought that lasted for months. He had already used up his savings to buy seeds and fertilizer, but the crops failed to grow due to lack of rain. He had no other source of income and was struggling to feed his family.

One day, the farmer decided to visit a wise man in a nearby town for advice. The wise man listened to the farmer's plight and said, "I understand your situation. But there is one thing you can do that may help. You should go and talk to your neighbors and ask if they need any help with their farms. Offer your services as a farmhand, and in return, they may pay you with food or money."

The farmer was hesitant at first, as he was not used to asking for help. But he realized he had no other choice and followed the wise man's advice. He went around the village and offered his services as a farmhand. His neighbors were pleased to have an extra hand, and they paid him with food and some money.

With the extra food and money, the farmer was able to sustain his family until the next harvest. He also learned a valuable lesson that it's always better to ask for help than to suffer in silence.

The next year, when the drought was over, the farmer's crops grew plentifully. He was able to sell his harvest for a good price and even had enough to save for the future. He was grateful for the wise man's advice and the kindness of his neighbors.

From then on, the farmer always offered his help to his neighbors, and they returned the favor in times of need. The farmer learned that even in the toughest times, a little help from others can make a big difference in one's life.
