  1. A Funny Story - Sowing the Wheat

    Share Share Post
    Once upon a time there were two men talking and each of them had a farm. It was in the springtime of the year and one man asked the other had he his wheat sown and the other man said he had. "Where did you sow it"? asked the other man "I sowed it in the ground" answered the other man.
