Clinton's words of wisdom, another story from the farm

Clinton is 80-something. He is getting older by the second. Some days he does not get out of bed. It is a great pleasure to help him with his goats. It is an even greater pleasure to hear his tales from years gone by.
The other day, he told me a story of his father. His father was a sugar beat farmer for many years. One day, while irrigating, Clinton found his father digging. He was causing the irrigation water to go around a certain part of the field, a field planted with sugar beats. Clinton questioned his father as to why he would block the water from coming to this part of the field. Clinton's father showed him that we was protecting a bird's nest for getting ruined from the water. "How strange to sacrifice some of your crops for the sake of a few birds", thought Clinton. His father explained to him. "It has always been my experience that if you help God's creations, He will help you."
When it was time to harvest, the beats in that area of the field that should have died from lack of water, were the biggest of the crop.
