宋国有个农夫，他种的秧苗总是长得太慢。
有一天，这个农夫想出了一个办法：他跑到田里，用力把所有的苗都拔高了一些。
他认为这样可以让他的苗快点长大。
回到家后，农夫疲惫不堪地对家人说：“啊！今天真是累坏了，我已经帮助田里的秧苗长大了。”
他的儿子听了这话，感到非常好奇，于是赶紧到田里去看个究竟。
结果他发现，那些秧苗竟然都已经枯死了。
这就是“揠苗助长”这句成语的故事来源。
它告诉我们，世界上有很多人，往往不顾事物的发展规律，只凭自己的感情用事，不但达不到目的，反而造成无法挽回的错误，把事情弄糟了。
我们应该遵循自然规律，不要急功近利，否则可能会适得其反。
There was a farmer in the Song State who always found that his seedlings grew too slowly.
One day, the farmer came up with an idea: he went to the field and forcefully pulled up all the seedlings a bit higher.
He thought this would make his seedlings grow faster.
After returning home, the exhausted farmer told his family, "Ah! I'm so tired today. I've helped the seedlings in the field grow taller."
His son, curious about this, hurried to the field to see for himself.
To his surprise, he found that all the seedlings had actually withered away.
This is the origin of the idiom 'Pulling Up Seedlings to Help Them Grow'.
It teaches us that there are many people in the world who often ignore the laws of nature and act solely on their emotions. Not only do they fail to achieve their goals, but they also make irreparable mistakes and ruin things.
We should follow the laws of nature and not be overly eager for quick success, otherwise we may end up achieving the opposite of what we want.
