A farmer had a tree on his land that did not yield any sort of fruit whatsoever. Instead, it was a home to the sparrows and the cicadas who chirped and sang.
The farmer, however, thought that the tree was useless and decided he would cut it down.
The farmer, however, thought that the tree was useless and decided he would cut it down.
He grabbed an axe and prepared to start chopping, but the cicadas and the sparrows all began to wail, shouting these words at the man, ”Please do not get rid of our resting place. We promise to sing sweet songs for you, so you’ll be happy.”
The man felt no pity for the creatures and showed them no mercy as he struck the tree three times with the axe’s blade. But no sooner had the man made a crack in the tree when he found there a hive of bees and honey. He took a taste and immediately dropped his axe, vowing to cherish this tree even more than his fruit-bearing trees.
Moral
Always look for new possibilities.
