Story of a Tree

    Once there was a family living in a cabin under a huge tree. Its strong branches and thick leaves kept

the family safe from the wind and rain. Sometime later, they fell down the tree with an ax, as they were

building another cabin. They needed the wood for its walls and the branches and leaves for its roof. But

before the completion of the new cabin, a storm came. And strong winds blew away the roofs of both the old and new cabins, because the tree was no longer there to protect the place from the wind. The people

are too astonished to do anything.
