A foolish man values a young sapling over a mature tree, and has the large tree trimmed back further and further to make room for the young sprout. Eventually, he has the grown tree chopped down entirely to offer the smaller plant its light, but finds that unlike the mature tree, the sapling does not bear fruit. | A foolish man values a young sapling over a mature tree, and has the large tree trimmed back further and further to make room for the young sprout.
