A farmer whose corn always took the first prize at the state fair had a habit of sharing his best corn seeds with all the farmers in the neighborhood. When asked him why, he said: - It is really a matter of self-interest. The wind carries the pollen from field to field. So if my neighbors grow inferior corn, the cross-pollination brings down the quality of my own corn. That is why I am concerned that they plant only the very best corn. Everything you give to others you are giving to yourself.
Un agricultor al carui porumb a luat mereu premiul intai la targul de stat avea un obicei de a imparti cele mai bune seminte de porumb cu toti agricultorii din imprejurimi. Cand a fost intrebat de ce, el a spus: - E o chestiune de interes personal. Vantul duce polenul dintr-un camp la altul. Deci, daca vecinii mei cultiva porumb inferior, polenizarea scade calitatea porumbului meu. Acesta este motivul pentru care sunt preocupat ca ei sa planteze numai cel mai bun porumb. Tot ce dai altora tie insuti iti dai.
