• Once lived a farmer in a village with a large apple tree on his farm. It had provided
delicious apples for his family since his childhood.
• His daughter and her friends played around the tree, just as he had done when he was
young. The tree had become a home for many animals, birds, and insects.
• However, since it no longer bore fruit due to old age, the farmer decided to cut it down
and plant vegetables instead.
• As he started chopping the tree, the animals and birds created an uproar, and his
daughter pleaded for its preservation.
• Despite their pleas, the farmer persisted. Suddenly, he spotted a small apple on the tree
and bit into it, triggering childhood memories.
• Realizing his daughter deserved the same joy he experienced, he abandoned the axe and
vowed not to cut the tree.
