The Trees and the Gardener

In a lush garden, a wise gardener plants three trees, nurturing them with care. Over time, the trees reveal the nature of their roots: one grows shallow and weak, another draws from bitter waters, and the third clings to lifeless gold. The gardener reflects on their choices, lamenting their struggles while finding hope in a fourth tree that grows deeply into fertile soil, producing sweet fruits and shade. Through this parable, the gardener imparts a profound lesson about where we choose to root our lives and the fruits that result from our choices.
