A huge tree with a broad trunk and countless branches

This is a story about a huge tree with a broad trunk and countless branches. Once upon a time there was a huge tree with a broad trunk and countless branches in the middle of the country. The tree offered rest and shelter to hundreds and thousands of travelers. Located near four towns and many villages, the tree was an ideal meeting point for travelers. One day two travelers reached the tree after a long journey. Their destination was one of the nearby towns. The day was hot and sunny, and the travelers were very happy to rest under the tree. Exhausted, they collapsed under a tree. They slept for a while, enjoying the cool shade and light breeze. After a while one of the travelers got hungry. They didn't have any food with them. The hungry traveler looked at the tree to see if it bore fruit. Finding nothing, he started cursing the tree. "Oh, that's just a useless tree, and it has nothing to nourish, no fruit, not even nuts! It's useless!" Another traveler comforted him and asked him to remain calm. However, the hungry man continues to curse the tree. The tree, unable to withstand the traveler's curses, said in a sad but strong voice, "You cannot be so ungrateful to me. Just think of your condition when you arrived here under the hot and dry sun! I offered you a cool and comfortable place to rest and sleep with a soothing breeze. If I wasn't here, you'd be no more by now! I saved your life from the hot sun and you're humiliating me!" The traveler realized his mistake and apologized to the tree. Be thankful for your blessings.
