Two men were walking along one summer day. Soon it became
too hot to go any further and, seeing a large plane tree nearby, they threw
themselves on the ground to rest in its shade. Gazing up into the branches one
man said to the other,
“What a useless tree this is. It does not have fruit or nuts
that we can eat and we cannot even use its wood for anything.”
“Don’t be so ungrateful,” rustled the tree in reply. “I am
being extremely useful to you at this very moment, shielding you from the hot
sun. And you call me a good-for-nothing!”
Moral: All of God’s
creations have a good purpose. We should never belittle God’s blessings.
