THE FARMER AND THE APPLE TREE

A poor farmer once had a friend who was famous for the wonderful apple
trees that she grew. The farmer went to visit his friend one fine day in the
spring.
As the farmer was about to leave, his friend said, “Here is a young apple
tree. I want you to take it home and plant it. I want you and your family to
enjoy it.”
The farmer was pleased. “Thank you very much,” he said. “I know this
tree will bear fine apples.”
But when the farmer got home, he did not know where to plant the tree.
He was afraid that if he planted it near the road, strangers would steal
the fruit. If he planted it in one of his fields, his neighbors would come at
night and steal some of the apples. If he planted it near his house, his
children would take the fruit. Finally, he planted the tree deep in his
woods, where no one could see it. But, naturally, without sunlight and
proper soil, it soon died.
Later that year, the friend who had given the farmer the tree went over to
his farm to visit. Naturally, she inquired about the tree.
“Why did you plant the tree in such a poor place?” she asked, puzzled.
“What’s the difference?” the farmer said angrily. “If I had planted the tree
near the road, strangers would have stolen the fruit. If I had planted the
tree in one of my fields, my neighbors would have come at night and
stolen some of the apples. If I had planted it near my house, my own
children would have taken the fruit.”
“Yes,” said the friend. “But at least someone could have enjoyed the fruit.
Now, by your foolish action, you have robbed every one of the fruits, and
you have also destroyed a good tree.”
