10. A Stranger
in Garden
Once, after diligently
hard work, a gardener happily went with his son to his garden to bring the
fruits which he had been caring for a long time. As he reached there, he was
astounded to see a stranger picking the fruits without informing anybody. He
went berserk and shouted, “Hey you! What are you doing on my tree? Aren't you
ashamed of stealing fruits?” The stranger replied, “Everything is of God and I
am God's servant.” This answer baffled him and again he shouted at the
stranger. But the stranger continued picking fruits. After pondering, the
gardener asked his son to bring a rope and a stick, and began to beat the
stranger. “Stop! Stop! What are you doing? Don't you fear God,” the stranger
cried horribly. “Like you l am also God's servant and this world belongs to
God,” the gardener prudently added, “So you should not interfere in God's
work.” Then the stranger realized his mistake and apologized for his deed of
stealing fruits.
