揠苗助长
古时候宋国有个农夫，种了稻苗后，便希望能早早收成。 每天他到稻田时，发觉那些稻苗长得非常慢。他等得不耐烦，心想："怎么样才能使稻苗长得高，长很快呢？想了又想，他终了想到一个"最佳 方法"，就是将稻苗拨 高几分。 经过 一番辛劳后 ,他 满 意地扛锄头回家休息, 对家里的人 表白 ：" 今天可把我累坏了，我帮助庄稼苗长高一大截！”
他儿子赶快跑到地里去一看，禾苗全都枯死了。这个成语寓意客观事物的发展自有他的规律还告知一具体道理："欲速则不达"。
Pull up the Seedlings to Help Them Grow
In ancient China, in the State of Song, there was a man who wished an immediate harvest after plant seeds.
He came to the field everyday and found that Seedlings were no different from previous days. He was inpatient, “How can I make them grow faster?” he thought. He finally got an idea. He pulled them all up.
He went home quite exhausted. “I’m tired out today," he told his family, “I’ve been helping the young Seedlings to grow."
His son ran out to the fields to have a look, and found all their Seedlings were dead.
The idiom “To Pull up the Seedlings to Help Them Grow” means that there are certain rules in nature; it also tells that "Haste makes waste”.
