The Farmer and the Apple Tree(part 2)
...The farmer planted the tree deep in his woods where no one could see it.But naturally the tree could not grow whithout sinlight and proper soil.In time it whithered and died.
Later his friend was criticizing him for planting the tree in such a bad place.
''What's the difference?''-the farmer said,rather bitterly.If I (plant)it near the road,strangers (sreal) the fruit.If I (plant) it in one my fields,my neighbours(come) at night and (rob) me.If I (plant) it near my house,my own children (steal) the apples.''
''Indeed,but at least someone (enjoy)the fruit,said the friend.''Now by your greediness you have robbed everyone of the apples,and you have also destroyed a fine tree.''
