There was a farmer who planted fields of wheat (麦子). He cared for the wheat and made sure that it received enough water and sunshine, because he lived on it.
One morning, the farmer awoke because of the sound of birds in his fields. He ran outside and saw his wheat fields covered with birds. He began waving (挥动) his arms and making loud sounds. He hoped this would scare the birds away. His plan worked. The birds flew away in a hurry, and the farmer went back to do his work.
Early the next morning, the farmer was again awakened by the sound of birds. He followed the same way and scared the birds by making sounds. It worked again. The birds flew away and left his wheat alone.
The birds began to realize that they were never in any real danger. They found the farmer just walked around waving at them and making sounds. So they got braver and braver.
