While Boes plows his fields, Gourmesh comes to catch earthworms. Boes asks Gourmesh to help him plow the fields. Gourmesh just runs around and ruins the fields. While Boes sews seeds, the hens and birds come and pick them all. Boes decides to protect the fields from them and stands in the shape of a scarecrow. Now that the birds are scared away, the rabbits and caterpillars are beginning to eat them all. Now it is a time to be reaping at last. The elephant, the sheep and the horse come and eat all the vegetables. Boes asks Tays to get rid of them, but...
Het zit Boes niet mee, de struisvogel is een slechte ploeg, de kippen pikken zaadjes en rupsen eten plantjes. Als het oogsttijd is, eten andere dieren alle groenten op.
