Tree Philosophy Of Two Old Men

In former time, somewhere, there were two old men in a village. They both liked to plant trees, old man A planted many trees in the east of the village and old man B planted also many tresses in the west side.
But, their way to take care of the trees were entirely different. Old man A loved tress very much and he poured a lot of water to the tree every day. As a result, his trees were all green, leaves beautiful, showing the tree in healthy condition.
Another old man B was different in taking care of the tree. He did not care much about the tree and did not water it every day. He only watered the tree when it was in infancy. When the tree grew up, he watered no more. As a result, his trees were thin and unhealthy in looking.
One day a storm with fierce rain and violent wind attacked the village and destroyed, strangely, only the green tress which were healthy in appearance, but to the thin and unhealthy trees, it was not harmed.
Botanist began to study what was the reason. The answer was that the roots of green trees were shallow beneath the ground, but the root of the thin tree went deeper to the ground. The reason is very clear.
