Joe was a farmer. His farmland was so poor that he hadn’t good harvest for years. “If God let me control the weather, ______ will get better,” he complained, “I know better than God does because I am a (an) ______farmer.”

God heard his words. “Well, I will give you one year,” God replied. “You will be in charge of the weather. Let’s see what your crops grow like.” Joe was so ______ that he couldn’t believe what he heard. But he still wanted to have a try. He shouted, “Sunny!” ______ the clouds went away. “Unbelievable!” He thought to himself and tried again, “rain!” The sky became cloudy right away and heavy rain poured down. ______, in the following year, he changed the weather between sunny and rainy. Watching his crops growing bigger and bigger, he felt happy.

When the harvest season came, he ______ his basket and sickle（镰刀）to the field, looking forward to a big harvest. But his heart sank to the ______when he found his strong crops had not grown any grain（谷粒）at all. Puzzled and disappointed, he started crying, which was heard by God again.

“How about your crops?” God asked. Joe ______ the crops, without a word. “Do not you have your wish to control the weather?” God asked again. “Yes, but I just can’t understand it. I have given them what they need. How could it be?” Joe ______. “That’s because you never asked for wind, rainstorm, snow or anything that could make the roots stronger.
