Once a king passed by a field, accompanied by his suite. He saw a broken down with age old man, who was planting an olive tree. The king was greatly surprised and he asked:

-Grey-beard old man, hat are you doing in this sweltering heat? It is high time to stop working and to have a rest ! Furthermore no one knows will you be still alive, when this tree produces olives.

Oh, my dear Overlord! But you know that his world is created in this way that one person plants trees and other person takes the crop. But nevertheless of this I hope that I will be still alive to see some olives on this tree.

.Now, you see! The tree has already began to produce olives.

The king liked this answer and gave a purse with money to the poor man.

The king laughed and gave him another purse with money.

- Оh great Master! Pay attention to the fact that all trees produce harvest only once a year, but mine produces-two times!

- Оh great Master! Pay attention to the fact that all trees produce harvest only once a year, but mine produces-two times!

The king liked even more this joke and he gave to the poor man a third purse with money.Then he said to his fellow - travellers

Let’s go, my friends. Otherwise I will be ruined very soon if I spend some more time with this old man.

A tale, shared with you-“Three crops from one tree”
