The First Fruit

One morning, a king went on horseback to the countryside. He came to a village and saw an old man in a field. The old man was digging the earth and planting mango saplings. He was working very hard.

King : Good morning, my friend. You’re planting these saplings. When will you get the fruit from them?

Old Man : These saplings will be big trees in ten or fifteen years. They’ll bear fruit then.

King : But you’re old and weak. You’ll die in a few years. You’ll not eat their fruit.

Old Man : You’re right, Sir. I’ll not eat the fruit of these trees. But others will eat it. I’m planting these saplings for them, and I’m happy.

King : I’m pleased with you, old man. You love other people. You’re a good man. Please take this bag of money. It’s for you.

Old Man : Thank you, Sir. This bag of money is the first fruit of my little trees.
