In a small village, there was a tree that gave shade to everyone who passed by. One day, a traveler came and sat under the tree, exhausted. He noticed that the tree bore no fruit and had no flowers, only its leaves. Curious, he asked the tree, Why do you not bear fruit or flowers?The tree replied, I have chosen to give my energy to provide shade for weary travelers like you. The flowers and fruit may bring beauty and taste, but my shade gives comfort and rest.The traveler smiled, realizing the tree’s sacrifice, and continued his journey feeling refreshed.
