Tree

I have beenstanding here since 50 years you know?  said pupil tree. Ha..ha how could you? asked the crow. I use to go for prey here and there, but you are always standing in one place, isn’t it difficult for you? No., no., do you know how happy I am. The purpose of my living is to give happiness to others. Crow screamed I couldn’t! I always pluck someone’s food from their hands. See human beings are always selfish. So I want to be like them. You are fool! Helping others., pupil tree said, you don’t know the joy of helping others. I always give shadow to those who come from the heat of sunlight,  give them fresh air, they take rest also. Due to us rain comes once in a month. I heard some part of india people worship me also as a God. Off…. shut up., enough of hearing your blubbering.  Stop!  said crow. Dont be selfish. Live for others., stop., stop.,that’s great.  I’m not a fool like you. Said crow and flew away from there. One day you know the meaning of life ., said with long breath. Few days later, crow flew very fast to the pupil tree and said., see there are two men who come here to cut you. While I sat on the mango tree they talked each other. See these human beings! Showing their gratitude to  you who live for others. You fool! The two men came there and sat a while and started to cut the tree with their axe.  Suddenly group of little children came there and started to cry. One little boy embraced the tree and said this is like my friend.  If you want to cut., first kill me and then cut this tree. How could you? Are you mad?already we don’t get enough rain. Struggling for water crisis.  If you cut the tree, can you produce another within one day., or month or year., it is standing here more than 50 years. It also has privilege to live in this world like us. Trees help us to live. Giving shadow.fresh air, and happy to mankind. Why you are cutting?because it doesn’t have mouth to say. Those men became ashamed of their deed. Pupil tree looked to crow., who astonished and stood like statue.
