That was a long time ago. Gautam Buddha was going to teach people in a village. He had some followers along with him. He was about to reach the village so that he found pit in different places on the way. Gautam Buddha's followers were very surprised to see this. Only then one of his followers questioned Gautama Buddha.
The follower said why so many pits are placed. After all, what was the need for such a person to dig so many pits in a distance of a few distances? Gautam Buddha responded with great patience and responded that the villagers would dig these pitches for water. He further said that despite the hard work he could not get the water. The follower asked Buddha to explain the reason for not getting water.
Responding to this, Gautam Buddha said that the villagers did so by digging so many pits but did not show patience. For this reason, they did not dug the pit in much of the ground. If they showed some patience with hard work, they would surely get the fruits of their hard work.
