One day the guerrillas unexpectedly found out an unharvested field of foxtail millet in a deep mountain.

His men were delighted to find the ripe ears of foxtail millet in the snow. But the President only smiled meaningfully.

In fact the foxtail millet field had a moving story.

A KPRA unit led by the President had passed by the field in the previous spring. At the sight of his men, a man who was sowing seeds there ran away, taking them for mountain bandits or Japanese troops.

The President writes in his reminiscences "With the Century":

My men had been very sorry to see the owner of the field running away. We thought he might not come back because he was so scared, so we planted foxtail millet there. We felt we should not leave the field to lie fallow for a year, but sow seeds on behalf of the owner, who had run away because of us, so that he might have something to harvest in autumn.

Later the owner came back to the field and was so grateful to the guerrillas that he left the foxtail millet crops in the field without harvesting for them.

This legend-like story was created as President Kim Il Sung always worked for the people.
