About lawns and experience taking

I promised to recall and publish this text in connection with this post.
The text itself was published in some kind of journal “school informatics” or something like that, at a time when the computers were large and the working memory was small. Unfortunately, I have no data about the author. Also, I could not find this text anywhere else, so I am writing from memory.
And yet, I think this parable will be useful for “start-ups” :)

In one country there lived people who loved to plant lawns. They loved to create them around their homes and admire them. From year to year, the inhabitants of this country took care of their lawns: they constantly dug up glades, compared hummocks, filled holes, cleaned stones, sowed grass and cut it.
At first they dug up a shovel, threw stones at them. But gradually the lawns became better and better, and the inhabitants of the country began to work more carefully - dig up the shovels, clean the stones with a rake, and then completely sift the earth through a sieve to get rid of the smallest stones.
There were years, tens, hundreds of years. The inhabitants of the country selected grass that grew better, was thick and tolerated a haircut better, and cultivated it. They invented various mechanisms that helped them dig, weed, and cut everything neater. They had perfectly smooth lawns, beautiful and smooth. And one day they created a flying saucer for a haircut, so as not to crush the grass even with mowers.

After some time, residents of the neighboring country paid attention to such wonderful lawns and they very, very, very much wanted to have the same. The recipe was known. They found a larger field, hastily scattered the largest stones and sowed it with some grass. And already ordered to import a flying saucer for cutting lawns.
