Once there lived a farmer called Henry. His brother, Mike, was an excellent gardener. His skill and his beautiful trees were famous everywhere.
One day, Henry went to town to visit Mike. “Look, my brother,” said Mike. “Here is the best apple tree from my garden. Take it home and plant it so that you, your children, and your children’s children can enjoy the fruit.” Henry was pleased with the apple tree and went back home. The next morning, he began to wonder where he should plant it. “If I plant it on the hill,” he said to himself, “the wind might catch it and shake down the fruit; if I plant it close to the road, people who pass by will pick the fruit; but if I plant it...”
Finally he planted the tree in the corner behind his house. No one else could notice it. But the tree bore no fruit the first year, nor the second. Then Henry sent for his brother and said to him angrily, “You have cheated me. This is the third year and it brings me nothing but leaves.”
When Mike saw where the tree was planted, he laughed and said, “You have planted the tree in such a cold corner without sunlight or warmth. How, then, could you expect flowers and fruit?”
