Once upon a time, there was a farmer named John. He had a small farm and grew various crops. He knew the importance of time and always tried to make the most of it. One day, while he was working in the field, he noticed that the weather was perfect for harvesting his crops. He knew that if he didn't work quickly, he might miss the opportunity. John quickly gathered his tools and started harvesting the crops. He worked tirelessly for three days from morning until evening, making sure that he harvested everything on time. His hard work paid off as he was able to collect a bountiful harvest. Later that week, the weather took a turn for the worse. It rained heavily for several days, and many of the crops in the neighboring farms were destroyed. But John's farm was unaffected as he had finished harvesting just in time.
