这篇小说讲述了一位农民通过巧妙的方法避开了"五十年来一切艰难考验"的限制，最终在1950年的秋季收获了自己 desired麦子的故事。

如果麦子没有考验

① God had a chance to walk on the land where his fields were blooming with wheat. He saw them harvest and felt so happy. One of those farmers noticed him. The farmer approached God and said, "I will never pray just for your appearance; you will always bring luck." God replied, "I have no idea what I'm doing today. But if I could do it all in my lifetime, that would be wonderful. Otherwise, life is difficult. It's good to make a promise. You can't live without making one."

② God said, "It will take a lot of luck and patience. If you don't give them anything, they won't wait for it." If they have anything, they can't wait for it. No one is happy when conditions aren't right. God says, "I should stop here. The end is near." But I said, "Let's go on this journey because maybe there's something better out there." God replied, "If you're not satisfied, I will satisfy you. If we don't meet the demands of our desire, they will reject it." We say to each other, "We can't wait for anything, God. There's no better time than now."

③ God said, "I have given everything that I can and have no more left. But maybe you should consider this: You are not just a man; you're one with purpose, one who will shape the world for others." The land is full of wheat, so God said, "This is good news. Now let me tell you, this is not all that I can give you." So I will share what I have and not take anything from you. But even then, it's hard to make a living in this world."

④ God replied, "I don't think so. You are just like all the rest of us. We have to wait for something. I'll wait for your good luck." So we said, "We can't wait for a good thing. Let's try again. Maybe when you come out of this gate, you will know what's right and wrong. Then it will be good. God said, "Good luck."

⑤ God said, "I must give it all up now. You are not just like the rest of us. We have to wait for something. I'll wait for your good luck." So he said, "Let me tell you: This is what we will get when we finally come to this gate."

⑥ God replied, "I didn't think so. Maybe you should consider this." The land was full of wheat, so God said, "That's fair. Let's go on the journey and see if this is all it has to offer us."

⑦ To my father, it happened that I got nervous when the weather was bad and I didn't think about it at first. God replied, "I don't know what's going on with you. But let me tell you: It will be tough. You can have some luck this year. Let's try to see if we're ready."

⑧ God said, "You don't need anything else beyond what I've given you. This is good news for me and for others who are affected." So he said, "I don't think so. You are like a man without a heart. That's just fine.

⑨ God replied, "I am not trying to lie or make a mistake here. If you succeed in your plans now, it will be good. Let me tell you: This is all I can do for you." And he said, "You get what you want."
