Growing Fruit Trees - I Thought I Was Dead

A farmer who was trying to grow a fruit tree or something like that. He wished, wished, wished as hard as it could that it would grow faster because the winter was coming and there wasn't enough time. In spring he comes back one day and he sees that there's a tiny sprout coming out of the stump where he was. The change that you need to see is often imperceptible until you zoom out and see it on a bigger scale. And all things in the universe are not under your control even if it's your job to make a thing do a thing.
