Having seen some peasant with an axe, “My dear fellow”, said the young little tree: “Would you mind cutting down the woods round me, I need badly in the open space: no sunlight for my leaves, no room for my roots, no expanse for
the wind near me in the shade of big trees! If not for that, I would have grown by a mile in height”. The peasant efficiently got down to the job and soon did the tree a good turn: the vast open space had been cleared round it.
But the tree’s triumph was short-lived! Sometimes it was scorched in the sun, sometimes it was lashed by the rain and the hail, at last it was broken by the wind. “Are you crazy!” a snake said to it : “You have only yourself to blame!
If you grew being nestled in the woods, neither the heat nor the wind could not give you any harm, the old big trees would protect you; and if sometime those trees were gone, you would be already strong enough so that to sustain a storm!”
