四、阅读短文，根据短文内容选择正确答案。
Rinku and Mohan were good friends and they lived in a village. They bought a piece of land and decided to plant corn together. Mohan was hard-working but Rinku believed that if he just sat and prayed（祈祷）all day long，everything would be well done. After months，corn in the field was ripe. Mohan took the corn to the market and sold it at a very good price.

He thought it was because of his prayers that they got such a good harvest（收成）!
