A nobleman was once riding along the road and saw an old man digging in his garden.On the ground lay a young tree,ready to be planted.The nobleman called out to the old man,“What kind of tree are you planting there,my good man?”
“This is a fig tree,sir,” he said.
“A fig tree?” the nobleman was very surprised.“Why,how old are you,may I ask?”
“I am ninety years old.”
“What!” cried the nobleman.“You’re ninety years old.You are planting a very young tree now and it’ll take years to give fruit.You certainly don’t hope to live long enough to get any benefit(利益) from this tree?”
The old man looked around the garden.Then he said with a smile,“Tell me,sir,did you eat figs when you were a boy?”
“Sure,” the nobleman did not know why he asked this question.“Then tell me this”,he said,“who planted the trees from which those figs were picked?”
“Why – why.I don’t know.”
“You see,sir”,went on the old man.“Our forefathers planted trees for us to enjoy and I am doing the same after me.How can I pay back anything to our forefathers?”
The nobleman was quiet and said,“You are right.My good man.We should do some good things for the people after us.Thank you very much.” Then he rode away.
