Travelers and Tree
Two travelers are going in a forest.
It was very hot and sunny. The two friends sat under a tree and took rest a while.
After few minutes, one of them felt hungry. He looked above the tree. It is full of flowers but not much fruits to eat. He said to his friend “what is the use of such a big tree with no fruits to eat?”
Hearing this tree said” O! Travelers. Sorry for not able to satiate your hunger. I can only give shade and pleasant cool air. Please go next few yards you will find good tall trees with full of fruits. You can quench your thirst and satiate your hunger. “
The hungry traveler walked a while and saw a huge coconut tree. Found few coconuts fallen on ground, he felt happy. Bow down to pick them few. He thought of standing and there and eat. A monkey on top of the tree shaken the tree and few coconuts suddenly fallen on him. Hurt on his back, he ran back to the big tree with few coconuts in his hands.
The traveler sat leisurely under the tree, gave one to his friend. He started eating the coconuts. He told his friend that “it is good that this tree did not have such a huge fruits. Other wise where would we take rest? I realized that I cannot expect all good things at one place”
Moral:
Every thing in nature has its own value, accept what ever that it gives with happiness.
