Don’t Rush the Sprouts | A story about patience and trusting the time things need

In this quiet and thoughtful episode of Little Wisdom Under the Red Lantern, a hardworking farmer becomes worried that his tiny rice plants are growing too slowly.

One morning, he tries to “help” them by pulling each sprout a little higher—
but what seems clever at first soon leads to a lesson he’ll never forget.

This gentle Chinese fable reminds children that some things can’t be rushed—
and that real growth takes time, care, and patience.
