Hello and welcome to today’s episode of “Stories from Around the World.” I’m your host, and in this episode, we will be taking a journey to Ghana, a country located in West Africa, to hear the story of the wise farmer.
Once upon a time, in a small village in Ghana, there was a wise farmer who was known for his intelligence and problem-solving skills. One day, a group of villagers approached him with a problem.
Villager 1: “Greetings, wise farmer. We are in trouble, and we seek your help.”
Villager 2: “Our crops are not growing as they should, and we fear that we will not have enough food to last us through the season.”
Villager 3: “We have tried everything we know, and nothing seems to work.”
Wise Farmer: “I understand your concerns, my friends. Let me take a look and see what I can do.”

The wise farmer observed the fields and quickly identified the problem. He noticed that the soil was depleted of nutrients and suggested that the villagers use a natural fertilizer made from compost.
Villagers: “What is compost, wise farmer?”
Wise Farmer: “Compost is a mixture of organic matter that has decomposed over time. It is rich in nutrients that plants need to grow. You can make it by collecting and mixing things like leaves, grass, and food scraps.”
The villagers followed the wise farmer’s advice, and soon their crops were growing again. They were grateful to the wise farmer for his help and asked him how they could repay him.
Villager 1: “Wise farmer, how can we repay you for your kindness and knowledge?”
Wise Farmer: “My reward is seeing you all prosper. However, there is a lesson to be learned from this experience.”
Villager 2: “What is the lesson, wise farmer?”
Wise Farmer: “The lesson is that sometimes, the solutions to our problems are right in front of us, but we fail to see them. We must be open-minded and willing to learn new things if we want to grow and prosper.”
And so, the wise farmer taught the villagers a valuable lesson, which they carried with them for the rest of their lives. They learned to approach problems with an open mind, be willing to try new things, and most importantly, to seek help when needed.
That’s all we have time for today on “Stories from Around the World.” Join us again next time for another inspiring story. Thanks for listening.
