Once upon a time there are stood two trees right in the center of a forest, one
was a fig tree and the other was a mango tree. The mango tree was gentle and jolly
by nature, every autumn the birds would come to peck at its roots, sparrows would
build nests in his branches and the swallows would sing for him. The tree happily
welcomed all the birds and sang with them, he was a generous tree he would
offer shape to passers-by and stand strong when the wind came to pay a visit
but the fig tree was not generous at all, he always cared too much about his
looks. He was too proud of being taller and greener than the mango tree, he
never let any birds rest on him and dropped dry leaves on anyone who would try
to sit under his shade.
Breezy:
“what are you so proud of every tree has its own shade?”
Fig
tree: “really then why do they have to sit under my shade you know why because
not every tree has a shade as grand as mine”
Breezy:
“Talking to you is of no use”
Fig
tree: “hey go away go to the mango tree, over there you all are messing with my
hairstyle”
Breezy:
“you don't have hair”
Fig
tree: “all right then you are messing with my leaf style, are you happy now?”
Mango
tree: “come on fig they only want to build a nest, you never let Birds sit on
you they are beautiful and they sing melodious songs”
Figtree:
“ah boring songs and please I am not letting anybody near my leaves, they will
spoil my beautiful branches. You can let them sit on you, you are shorter than
me and you don't look that great anyway”
Breezy:
“hey watch yeah that's a very mean thing to say fig”
Mango
tree: “oh that's fine breezy I am NOT hurt, being short is not a bad thing I am
happy with who I am”
Days
passed and nothing changed between the mango tree and the fig tree, where the mango
tree would keep smiling and singing all day. The fig tree would not talk to
anyone one day, a swarm of honey bees entered the forest, and queen bee saw the
fig tree and was very impressed.
Queen
bee: “this tree is big and strong, this would be perfect for our house yeah”
Fig
tree: “excuse me who said you could, I don't want your stinky honey all over my
branches and you will keep buzzing all day. I have better things to do”
Queen
bee: “you are a tree, rooted at once that's enough artists, what do you mean
you have better things to do”
Fig
tree: “whatever you are not bringing those noisy little buzzers here”
Mango
tree: “big they are honey bees honey bees are important to nature they would
always need trees to build their beehive if we don't help each other out then
how is nature going to stay balanced”
Fig
tree: “ah if nature wanted me to spoil my branches that it would not have made
me so strong and beautiful I'm a beautiful creation of nature so I am going to
keep myself beautiful for the sake of nature and why are you lecturing me. If
you care about nature you do it you let these bees build a bee hive on you now
if you'll excuse me”
The
mango tree was very hurt by the fig trees words but he chose not to react he
called out to the swarm of bees and asked them to build a hive on his branches
instead
Queen
bee: “you are so kind and you smell so sweet “
Mango
tree: “haha, thank you my queen I am honored”
The
bees built their hive on the mango tree and lived there peacefully the mango tree
was not disturbed by their buzzing or the stickiness of the honey. The fig tree
on the other hand continued to scream at everyone in sight.
Fig
tree: “hey your little chitchat is bothering me quiet down a little bit your
birds are so chirpy, do you always have to sing after a point, it's just a
nuisance”
A
few weeks later two wood cutters came to the forest they needed wood to build
houses they saw the mango tree and decided to cut it down. They found it
perfect for their work but one of them noticed something
Cutter:
“wait what's that it's a bee like the honeybees most famous if we cut this tree
Wow yes let's find another mango tree”
The
woodcutters went ahead and saw the fig tree, they loved how tall the tree was
Cutter:
“let's start at the lowest part of its bark”
And
so the woodcutters began to cut the fig tree, the fig tree began to cry he
didn't want to leave the forest. Suddenly he missed the birds and the swallows
the mango tree was watching all of this. He called out to the honey bees
Mango
tree: “hey bees is anyone buzzing, Oh pig is in trouble we have to help him”
Queen
bee: “job please he only cares about himself, he's angry at everything in the
first why should we help him?”
Mango
tree: “because of the same reason I asked him to help you”
Breezy:
“but he did it help Queenie. I am with the beyond this one mango pig is so
proud of himself all the time had he let the bees build the hive on him the
woodcutters would have left him alone he is getting what he deserves”
Mango
tree: “no breezy however fig behaved it must not define us only because someone
is rude to us doesn't mean we should be rude to them, the forest is home to all
of us we can't leave fig when he needs us the most”
Queen
bee: “mango is alight we have to help”
Fake
all the bees came out of the hive and flew to the woodcutters they began to
buzz near their ears and in front of their eyes
Cutter:
“I can't see anything do you think I can't do anything we need to get out of
here these bees will sting us, it will be playing for granted”
Bee:
“you are the one who sing on here let's get out of here”
After
the woodcutters were gone, the fig tree was very embarrassed of his behavior
Fig
tree: “I am so sorry bees you are the best to help me out after the way I behaved”
Queen
bee: “don't thank us thank mango, you never talked to him treated him rudely but
he's the one who convinced us to help you”
Fig
tree: “really Mango I am so sorry. I have realized my mistake we all have good
qualities in us we all are special in our own way, I will never act snooty and
insult anyone ever again please forgive me all of you”
The
fig tree had learned his lesson from that day on he never screamed at the
breeze or the birds he sang with the mango tree and let the sparrow build nests
on him the mango tree and the fig tree stayed best friends forever. Thank you!
