Wisdom of a statesman


ALLOW me to share a 1960s story of a generous orchard owner who had lots of mango trees. The trees yielded such an abundance of fruits that he shared them with his neighbour who had no land of his own to grow them.

As decades passed by, the neighbour processed the mango into juice and made his fortune. Despite being more prosperous, the neighbour continued to ask the orchard owner for more mangoes even though the trees were not bearing as many fruits by then.
