I’m from Iowa, which is famous for growing good corn. Every year there is a contest to see who grows the best corn and for the past eleven years, the same man, Farmer Duffy, has won. ?????? As a reporter, I wanted to find out his secret. So, I drove out to Mr. Duffy’s farm. I told him that I was writing a story about his prize-winning corn. “Tell me about the corn seeds,” I said. “Did you develop them yourself?” Mr. Duffy smiled warmly. “My father began and I took over when he died.” “What makes your corn different from that corn over there?” I asked pointing to his neighbor’s field. ?????? “Nothing at all,” he said. “I give my neighbors my special corn seeds. We all grow the same corn.” ?????? “But how can you win the competition every year if you share your special seeds?” I asked. ?????? “Without sharing my seeds, I can’t win.” He said. “You see, corn releases pollen into the air. The pollen blows around into different fields and lands on other plants. The plants need the pollen to grow. So I have to make sure my neighbors have good corn to pollinate my corn.” ?????? “That’s the way it is with a lot of things because everything’s connected,” he continued. “For peace, we have to help others live in peace. For happiness, we have to help our neighbors be happy, too.” I realized that what Mr. Duffy had said was wise and true. But, how come Mr. Duffy’s neighbors don’t win the contest? ?????? What is the theme of the story? ?????? a. How to win contests.????????????????????? b. How everything is connected. ?????? c. How to be a good reporter.???????????????????? d. How life is not always fair. ?????? Forming Opinions: What Do You Think? ?????? A: Guided Writing ?????? 1. A student writes his opinion of the story.
