oH !! Why did you cut the tree

An intersting story of current times

There was once an enterprising man, who bought a vast land. On this vast land, he planted a tiny sapling. He saw the sapling settling in taking strong roots and firm ground. To ensure the growth of this sapling, the man got the services of a gardener. The gardener watered the sapling, provided fertilizers and set up a fence around the sapling to prevent animals from eating it. As the sapling began to grow, there were other wonderful things thats started happening. The roots went deeper and deeper in search of water and minerals for the sapling to grow to a tree. The tiny creatures in the soil allowed the roots to grow along by ensuring that weeds or other harmful creatures were destroyed to enable the roots to grow stronger.

Similarly, the sapling was growing big above the ground too, the branches started hosting a lot of birds, critters and insects within it, they ensured that the branches and trees grew too and ensured all the harmful creatures were kept away. The sapling had grown to significant large tree in a short while. The tree no longer needed the fence, but the gardner was still entrusted with the care taking of the tree. The owner of the land was very happy with the tree, the tree was full of fruits and creatures and the whole environment around the tree was a wonderful ecosystem in itself. He opened the tree for others to come and enjoy. People from far and beyond came to see this wonder, bask in its shade and smell the wonderful fragrance and take rest under it. Kids played on and around the tree. Lovers met and carved their names to ensure their love was for time immemorial. The tree in itself was happy that it was able to touch so many lives and was happy.

Suddenly out of no where, the owner of the land decided to chop the tree and bring it down. He did not once think or talk to the gardner, the lovers, the critters, the birds, the insects , the kids or the people who made this tree a wonder. An all of the sudden the tree was nothing but a block of wooden blocks on the ground. To be sold in the marketplace for a few coins of gold

Oh !! mighty land owner, why o why did you cut the very tree you had planted, why did you not think of the fate of all the folks who had depended on this very tree. Who gave you the right to cut the tree, true you had planted it, true it was on your land, but it was the energy and effort of all the folks through the years of growth of the tree that had cherised the tree to grow to its stature of grandure and fame.

So Let this be a lesson to all the owners, If you so want to get a few coins of gold, please plant a tree that does not touch so many lives and still gets you the coins of gold you so desire.
