The evidence of the old farmer's kindness found in the first two paragraphs includes:
- The old farmer and his wife loved and treated their pet dog as if it were their own child. They fed the dog small pieces of fish from their own chopsticks and gave him all the boiled rice he wanted.
- The old farmer was patient and kind to all living creatures. He often dug up a sod on purpose to provide food for the birds.
These actions show the farmer's generosity, care, and kindness toward animals, reflecting his gentle and compassionate nature.
