Once there was a beautiful woman who loved
to work in her vegetable garden, but no matter what she did, she couldn't get her tomatoes
to ripen. Admiring her neighbor's garden, which had beautiful bright red tomatoes,
she went one day and inquired of him his secret.
"It's really quite simple,"
the old man explained. "Twice each day, in the morning and in the
evening, I expose myself in front of the tomatoes and they turn red with
embarrassment."
Desperate for the perfect garden, she tried
his advice and proceeded to expose herself to her plants twice daily.
Two weeks passed and her neighbor stopped
by to check her progress.
"So," he asked,
"Any luck with your tomatoes?"
"No," she replied
excitedly. "But you should see the size of my cucumbers!"
