One day, two people planted sugar cane at the same time and agreed: the one who grows good cane will receive a reward, and the one who grows bad cane will be punished. Then one of those who agreed thought: “The sugar cane itself is very sweet. If I squeeze the juice out of it and water the crops with this juice, then my cane will undoubtedly be better, and I will win.”
So he squeezed the juice out of the sugar cane and watered the crops. The seeds died, and all the sugar cane he had was completely gone.
