Farming seems like it would be a lot of hard work. You have to break up the ground, turn the soil, rake, hoe, plant seeds, weed, water, weed some more, keep watering then finally pick your crops. Imagine if you did all that and when you went to pull your Chinese knotweed out of the ground, it was actually a little boy. That is what happened to a stunned Chinese farmer when he was surprised with another son instead of his root food. (At least I'm assuming it's a son.) He was so freaked-out that he replanted the root so it could be with his root-family.
