Thin Trees

Long decades ago, somewhere there was a village living two old men, both of them liked to plant trees. One old man lived in the west side of its village and another in the east. But, their ways in taking care of the tree were entirely different. West one loved tree so deep that he watered the trees everyday and another on the east only watered the young trees. Once its trees adult, he watered no more.
The result was apparent that the west side trees were full of green leaves, and the east only had little leaves in its branches. Everybody could see that west trees were much more healthy.
One day, a very forceful storm attacked the village, but to a surprise, all west side trees were blown down and the east trees stood elect. Such appearance rose scientist to study.
They found out the root of the west side trees were very shallow while the trees in east side, in order to find water, rooted themselves to a very deep ground.
It is like our human. If we have too good life, we may not be able to face difficulty especially to the young ones. Hard life makes us to face any difficulty which lies ahead of our life.
