Once, there was a rich Man who owned
large wine estates. He had a young careless Son who never helped him with work.
The Man tried various methods to make his Son work but, all were wasted.
One day, the Man died and the
possession of the large estate came to his foolish young Son. The Boy had never
been to the estate and did not know how to take care of it.
One day, while taking a walk in his
vineyards, the Boy saw the hedges surrounding the vineyards. He looked at them
and said to himself, ‘These hedges are a waste. They do not grow any grapes.
Let me clear them off.’
The Boy asked his servants to clear
the hedges.
The inexperienced Boy did not know
that the hedges were to protect the vineyards from other men and beasts.
One night, after he cleared the
hedges, the beasts ran into his vineyards and ate all the vines. Some grapes
were also stolen by other people.
The next morning, the boy was
shocked to see his ruined vineyards. He realised that the hedges were there to
protect his vineyards!
It is important to protect what we possess.
