The Old Man and the Durian Tree
A
long time ago lived an old man whose age was
over 80 years old .He was planting
a durian tree when he was observed
by neighbour .(A durian is a
thorny fruit with a very pungent smell. It
is known as the King fruits and is very
popular in south –east Asia.)
The neighbour asked the old man ,”Do
you expect to eat durian from that tree ? The durian tree will take about 8 to
10 years to bear fruit .”
The old man rested smilingly on his spade .He said
,”No ,at my age I know I won’t .All my
life I have been enjoying
durians,but never from a tree I have ,planted before.I wouldn’t have had
durians if other men have not done what
I am doing now.I am just trying to
play the other men who have planted
durians for me ,”No wonder he
looked so happy..
We should be GIVERS fist and GETTERS
second in everything we do .We
will not only get what we want
but will actually be really
happy in the end .Because we need to sow first before
we can reap.
