Never Be Ungrateful Story
It was high summer. The sun was very hot. The two travelers walked along a dusty road, along which there were no trees.
While trying to hide from the scorching sun, they saw a tree with large leaves and branches spread out like an umbrella.
They laid their belongings on the ground and sat in the cool, dense shade of a tree. After a little rest, one traveler said to another: βWhat a useless tree this is! It doesn’t bear fruit at all. “
Hearing this, the tree felt pinched and burst out: βYou are an ungrateful soul! On the one hand, you hide in my cool shade from the scorching heat of the sun, and on the other hand, you call me useless.
Get up and leave this place immediately to burn yourself again. “
