One day, a young man bought a young tree from a tree seller. He planted it near his house and watered it every day. With love and care, the tree grew slowly.
Next door, there was another farmer who had planted trees in his garden years ago. Now, they had blossomed and were bearing fruit. The farmer was making a lot of money by selling the fruits from his trees.
The young man saw the farmer earning money from his trees and felt upset about his own small trees. He wanted his trees to grow and bear fruit quickly, so he gave them more water and fertilizer than before.
He couldn’t wait for the tree to grow, and one day, in frustration, he wanted to cut it down.
Then, the village farmer came up to him and asked, “Can you tell me why you want to cut down the tree?”
The young man said, “I’ve watered, loved, and fertilized this tree so much up until today. But it still hasn’t helped me. It hasn’t grown or produced any fruit yet.”
The farmer said, “You can’t make a young tree grow in one day just by watering it. You have to give it time to grow. You need to be patient. If you don’t wait, you’ll never see the fruits on the tree you planted.”
The young man realized his mistake he had started losing patience. Without waiting for the tree to bear fruit, he tried to destroy it, dismissing all the effort he had put in.
