To Do Harm to Something by Being Over-Enthusiastic

 

Once upon the time, there was a farmer who was concerned about his gain. 

He would go to the farm and check whether the seedlings were growing or not all the time. 

 

Suddenly, he got a good idea. 

He thought if he pulled all the seedlings up, they should grow faster. Moreover, he could reap them quicker.

So, he spent the whole day to pull them up.

When he came home, he told this good idea to his family. But his son got nervous about his act.
