Once two travellers were on their way on a scorching summer day. Since it was a sweltering sunny day, they felt too exhausted to proceed any more. So they decided to take a rest. They saw a large tree near by. Reclining under the tree, a traveller contemptuously condemned the tree for not having any fruits and nuts which could be eaten. Even its wood was useless. Then in a curt voice the tree replied, “You shouldn’t be ungrateful to me; it’s my thick branches in which you both are shielded from the burning rays of the sun at this moment.” They felt ashamed of their words and took an oath not to belittle any creation of God.
Moral : All the creations of the world have a good purpose. We should venerate and understand their values.
