Q. Read the story titled “WISE FARMER” and tick the correct option to complete the story.

A farmer was sad/happy to see his healthy wheat crop ready for harvest. He harvested the crops and left them under the sun/rain to dry the stalks. To separate the seeds from the bundles of the stalk he handpicked/threshed them. After gathering the seed grains he wanted to separate the stones and husk from it.

His wife winnowed/threshed them to separate the husk and later sieved/handpicked to remove stones from it. She ground the wheat grains and sieved/filtered the flour. The wise farmer and his wife got a good price for the flour. Can you tell why?
