Once upon a time, there was a famous inventor named Professor Nutri. He lived during the Civil War and was fascinated by agriculture. He wanted to create a fertilizer that would provide all the necessary nutrients for plants to grow.

One day, Professor Nutri went to Congress to present his invention. The congress members were skeptical at first, but when they saw the amazing results of the fertilizer, they were impressed. They decided to use the fertilizer on all the farms in the country.

However, there was a problem. The country was still segregated, and the white farmers didn't want to share the fertilizer with the black farmers. But Professor Nutri had a solution. He suggested that they mix the fertilizer with paint, so that the color would be the same for all the plants.

The congress members laughed and agreed to try it. And you know what? It worked! The plants grew taller and stronger than ever before. And best of all, the farmers finally learned to work together, regardless of their skin color.

From that day on, Professor Nutri became known as the "Funny Fertilizer Inventor". And the country was forever changed for the better. The end.
