The Old Man and the Durian TreeIn a very quiet little village, there lived an
old man whose age was over 80 years old. He
was planting a durian tree. When a neighbor
observed him, the neighbor asked the old
man, "Do you expect to eat durian from that
tree? The durian tree will take about eight
years to bear fruit."
The old man rested on his spade and
smiled. 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 haven't
done what I'm doing now. I am just trying to
pay the other men who planted durians for
me." No wonder he looked so happy.
The neighbor then realized that people
should give first and could get something in
return. People would not only get what they
wanted but would actually be really happy in
the end because they need to sow first before
they could reap.
