A Scheme for Success

Nothing is more pleasing to a farmer than his field at the time of the harvest. Now, he can enjoy fruits of his labor. But, he has to pay his debt first. He had incurred it for petty things. Now it sums up to a huge amount! Unwillingly, he has to pay the price for those little things with his hard-earned rich harvest.

Who wouldn’t? This scheme is just too good to ignore. Only a fool would ignore it.
