A fairy tale about the life of a proud salak tree

in Dream Steem5 days ago

It is said that in a field there are several types of trees, but there are oddities among most of the tree types, such as palm trees, rattan and jernang trees. Between the three there are parts that have slight differences, but all three have sharp spines.

One day, nature changed suddenly, the bright beginning turned into darkness, the wind that blew slowly became a strong and noisy wind, at that moment a debate between the salak tree and the jernang tree began to occur, even though it was only because of the strong wind that made the tree jernang is standardized above salak trees, jernang trees have tiny stems unlike salak trees.

"Jernang, why are you leaning on my midrib?" said Salah, even though we were both holding back the wind.

"Don't you see how small and long my body is?" answered Jernang.

"You didn't see the thorn stuck in my midrib," shouted barking.

"You also don't see the thorns stuck in my body," answered Jernang. Even though they both have lots of thorns, the snakehead doesn't realize that its thorns have covered the snake's body.

In the midst of the heated conversation, the capa tree responded. he was smaller than the two of them, "hi... why are you making a fuss, don't you see how hurt and miserable I am, the two of you are pinning me down, I can barely hold on" answered Capa. "With your arrogance you shouted as if you were living alone, Jernang already said that the strong wind had made him helpless" We live side by side, not alone.

In this way, Salak doesn't accept Capa's chatter, "There are lots of places you can lean on, why do you have to lean on me," said Salak. The capa, who felt small, didn't want the debate to escalate any more, just kept quiet and endured the pain. after the debate fell silent for a moment. Rattan, who had been listening to Salak's debate a lot, finally answered.

"Salak, capa, rattan, have you ever heard my voice or a debate?" asked rattan. "No," answered the three, why are you arguing. Actually, the one who should be making the debate is me, you know why? every day and every moment humans cut, hammer and heat me in the water, for what! they made me for them to ride, but I don't care even though we are now almost extinct, what is important is that our lives can be useful for our other friends, even if they are not our kind. After listening to Rattan's words, Salak realized that he could not be used by other creatures, even the smallest of his fruit. That's all the tales of the arrogant wrongdoer, thank you very much for your attention and visit.
