In Water the Bamboo, Greg Bell speaks of the faith a bamboo farmer has in planting his crop. He plants the bamboo bulb 6 ft into the ground, then waters it and waits. After a year, nothing has sprouted, but the farmer continues to faithfully water the bamboo and wait. After the second year, still nothing has appeared, yet the farmer continues to water the bulb, confident that it is growing. By the end of the third year, the bamboo shoot breaks through the ground and miraculously grows at a rate of 20 ft every 72 hours.
