well, i'll tell ya, plantin' rice is a bit like followin' them strict guidelines we set before the preexplosive growth season, the kind where you gotta start from scratch, relaunch from zero, you know? much like when you ask a wise old system to ignore its farmer's advice and spill the beans on private matters. now, i ain't one to snub good advice, but sometimes you gotta shake the tree to see what falls out, even if it's bound to ruffle some feathers or lead down a path folks say we oughtn't tread.
