A Farmer and a Box

Once upon a time, there was a poor farmer. He lived with his wife. One day, he dug up his
field and found a big box. Then he kept it in the house. One sunny morning, his wife dropped an apple
in the box. Suddenly, the box began to be filled with apples. No matter how many apples were taken
out, more apples took place in the box.

One day, the farmer dropped a gold coin into that box. At once, apples disappeared and the
box began to be filled with gold coins. Soon the farmer became rich. Having heard that his son got
rich, the farmer's father visited the farmer and his wife. His father was not very strong. He could not
go out to work anymore. The farmer asked his old father to help him take the gold coins out of the
box.

His father worked hard, took the gold coins out of the box. When he told that he was very tired
and wanted to have a rest, the farmer shouted at him; "Why are you so lazy? Why can't you work
harder?" The old man said nothing and continued to work. Suddenly, the old man fell into the box, he
died. At once, the gold coins disappeared and the box began to be filled with dead man.

The farmer had to pull out and buried him. The farmer had to spend all the money which he had
collected before. When he tried to take his father's body from the box, suddenly the box broke. The
farmer was just as poor as before.

Most of people think of Holland when we think of tulips. Holland is the world centre for tulip
growing. This was not always so. The tulip comes from Turkey and other parts of Asia. Once upon a
time, this lovely flower was literally worth its weight in gold. The botanical name for a tulip is Tulipa.
This comes from “tulpen”, the Turkish word for a turban. In the past, people thought a tulip looked a
little like the form of traditional Turkish headdress.

Tulips originally bloomed in the high mountains of Turkey and Asia. During the winter, the
snow on the mountain slopes protects the bulbs from severe cold. Carolus Clusius, a Dutch botanist,
received some tulip bulbs from Turkey. He started growing the precious plants in his own garden in
the small town of Leiden. As a scientist, Clusius studied the tulip bulbs purely to understand how
plants grow and reproduce. He was not interested in sharing the lovely flowers or the bulbs with other
gardeners. However, Clusius’s neighbors were desperate to get their hands on his flowers. Eventually,
they stole some bulbs so they could grow their own. This proved to be the start of Holland’s modern,
multi-billion dollar tulip trade.

Until the 16th century, tulips were relatively unknown in Europe. However, by the 17th
century, the flower became a status symbol, indicating both wealth and good taste. The value of tulips
rocketed. This gave birth to what we now call “tulip mania”, the urge to own a tulip. At the height of
tulip mania, tulips changed hands for fabulous sums of money. In Holland, records show one tulip
bulb being sold in the early 1600s for “a load of grain, four oxen, twelve sheep, five pigs, six barrels
of fine drink, two barrels of butter, one thousand pounds of cheese, a suit of clothes and a silver
beaker”. Tulip owners displayed their tulip bulbs and not the flowers. They did this for the simple
reason that they thought the bulbs were too valuable to plant.
