In the village of Sunandi during a lazy Sunday afternoon in the middle of summer on the empty streets, a traveler was seen walking with a bag looking very exhausted. He was crossing the market when he was stopped by the voice of an old man who said "Child, why do you seem so stressed out? Have you lost your way? Come here, sit for a while beside me ". The traveller with a pale face sat beside the old man and started to say "No, uncle fortunately I have not lost my way I was just so tired of walking that I was looking for a place to take some rest thank you for calling me ".

The old man smiled happily and said " Oh dear that's nothing but why did you come to our village? "  

The traveller said, "Oh I have an ancestral field nearby in this village my grandma recently died and gave her field to me, in the field many trees have grown so I was on my way to go to the wood cutter's house to ask him to cut all the trees tomorrow ". 

The old man said "Oh may you face no difficulties in your work. " They both finished the fruit they were having from the tree under which they were sitting and left. While going the traveller said to himself "I am going to cut all the trees but when I need get tired when I need supplies I come back to the trees! How inhuman am I! " With a change of mind instead of going to the wood cutter's house, the traveller decided to cancel his plan of cutting all the trees and with some plant fertilizers went to the gardener's house instead to plant more trees in the field. 


Moral -We never understand the value of something till we don't start to lose it, we should always appreciate and understand the value of the things around us.
