Villagers from both countries live on their borders. The villagers all like to grow melons. This spring, the border people of the two countries planted melon seeds again.

Unfortunately, the weather was dry this spring, and the seedlings grew slowly because of lack of water. Some villagers in Wei are worried that the drought will affect the harvest, so they organize some people to fetch water and watermelon in the fields every night.

After several days of continuous watering, the seedlings in Gua Tian, a Wei villager, grew significantly better, much higher than those planted by Chu villagers.

The villagers in the state of Chu were jealous when they saw that the melons planted by the villagers in the state of Wei grew fast and well. Someone sneaked into Gua Tian of Wei villagers at night to step on the seedlings.

Song county asked the villagers to calm down, let them all sit down, and then said to them:

"I think you'd better stop stepping on their melons."

The villagers were very angry. They listened and shouted:

"We are afraid that they will not succeed? Why should we let them bully us like this? "

Song just shook his head and said patiently:

"If you must go to revenge, the most hate in my heart, but, later? They won't stop there. In this way, the two sides will destroy each other, and no one will get the melon. "

The villagers asked with a frown:

"So what should we do?"

Song said:

"You go to help them water the land every night, and you will know what the result is."

The villagers had to do as the county magistrate Song told them. The villagers in Chu found that the villagers in Wei did not hold grudges, but helped them grow watermelons every day, which made them feel ashamed.

This incident was later known by the county magistrate on the border of Chu, and he reported it to the king of Chu. It turned out that the king of Chu was eyeing Wei. Hearing this, he was deeply moved and very upset. So he took the initiative to make up with Wei and sent many gifts to express his gratitude to Wei Haoguan and good people.

When Wang Wei met Song, he made contributions to the friendly exchanges between the two countries and ordered Song and his people to be rewarded.

According to the above story, if I am a villager in Chu State, I will feel embarrassed when I see the villagers in Wei State watering the land every night, and I will blame myself for jealousy, because it is not advisable to destroy other people's labor achievements because I have not tried my best to water the land.
