He thought to himself, “I have never seen this kind plant before . . . ah, maybe God heard my prayer and has given me a chance to be rich!” Then, he carefully took the plant home and began to research and study this unusual, yet beautiful plant.
He finally grew these plants from the seeds and sold them at the market. He sold all of them as quickly as the wind blew. Demand for more grew. He grew more of these plants and sold them as well.
