Riding a yellow genie

– Tell me the truth, have I got any chance to become an agronomist?

– I am sure this will happen someday!

– But I don`t have a diploma…

– Do you think not? Look at your pocket.

When I put my hands into my pocket I found a paper with the necessary stamps and signatures on it saying “Elementary school diploma”.

– Dear cap, but I am too small!

– Don`t worry, someday I will give you some height as well.

A few days have passed and I reached a place that looks like a desert. No human can be seen around here. Several times I saw a flock of birds, and even snakes chewing each other`s tail. With my cap on my head I headed further. Suddenly I reached a huge field with thousands of trees. A 100-hectare field was divided into several plots, with kids of my age working there.

– Whats`up fellas, – I greeted one of the boys.

– Don`t waste my time, – he said.

– Hello, I said!

– I said I have no time to talk, – he said and raised his head. He saw me and blushed. – I`m

sorry. I thought that you are our specialist Shavkat.

– No problem my friend. Which country is this?

– This isn`t a country, this is a desert.

– What are you doing here?

– Mowing the grass.

– Whose cotton is this?

– Ours. Me and five of my friends planted ten hectares. As soon as the cotton

grows we shall pick them up by ourselves.

– Don`t you need an agronomist?

– No. We ourselves will become agronomists soon.

Then I tried to test my luck on the next section. There were some guys digging the field for melon seeds.

– What are you doing?

– Cultivating the land. – They were working very hard and fast.

– Don`t you need an agronomist?

– No.

– Why not? Maybe you need one?

– Because we are agronomists.

Then I went through other fields trying to get any information. The fields were amazing and beautiful. All types of fruits could be seen. I counted some twenty types of grape. I found a girl feeding chickens.

– Dear, don’t you need a zootechnician?

– What makes you think that we need a zootechnician?

– He could teach you.
