Once there was a farmer who owned a large garden with variety
of fruit-trees. But one mango tree got barren. Though, it no longer had any fruits, it provided shelter to many birds.
Finding
the mango tree useless, farmer decided to fell it.
The moment, he was about to cut
the tree with his axe,
the birds living on
the tree begged him, "Spare this tree, sir! If you fell it, we will become homeless and have to go elsewhere. Moreover, it will deprive you
of our merry notes when you are here at work."
But
the farmer turned a deaf-ear to
the plea
of the birds and struck at
the tree with his axe. A few strokes
of axe discovered a hollow in
the tree-stem containing a large honey-comb inside it.
Delighted at his find,
the farmer thought in his mind, "This tree is really worth keeping. If not mangoes, then honey can make me money. So, I must not fell it."
The farmer was very clever. Finding
the tree to be useless, he decided to get rid
of it but
the moment he came to know that
the tree was still fruitful, he decided to keep it.
