234th story
Winter was going away. Ali’s father brought home a young peach tree, as it was Ali’s favorite fruit. Little Ali helped his father to plant the young tree in their small garden.
Every day Ali checked the tree and watered it. He was hoping that in the spring, his tree would give him thousands of great peaches.
Spring came, but Ali’s tree just had a few pink blossoms. Ali didn’t want any blooms he wanted so many peaches.
“Don’t worry. All the trees make blooms at first.” said his father.
Ali used to sit beside his peach tree to watch its pink blooms and to think about the fresh peaches.
One day Ali noticed the blooms were gone.
“Someone has taken my blooms,” Ali shouted.
“No one has taken them. It’s the wind, that’s been taking them. Don’t worry the fruit part is still there.” Father replied.
Ali couldn’t understand all his father’s words. He got mad at the wind and even his peach tree. Then, he stopped paying attention to it.
Summer came, and Ali was playing in the yard when he noticed a big peach hanging from his tree. Ali got excited, but not to lose the peach he kept it hanging.
After a few days, he saw a part of the peach was eaten.
“The wind has eaten my peach,” Ali screamed.
Ali’s mother smiled and said: “No my dear, the sparrows have eaten your peach.”
Ali picked up a stone. He was going to throw it at the sparrows. His mother said, “We should never be unkind to God’s creatures. We should always share with others all the good things we have. Kindness is the key to happiness.”
Autumn came and the little tree’s leaves turned yellow.
Ali asked his mother: “Do the trees get sad too?”
When the winter came and Ali’s tree was covered with snow he asked his mother: “Do the trees get cold?”
And finally in the summer Ali’s tree had ten beautiful peaches hanging on it.
Ali picked nine of them and left one for the beautiful sparrows. Now he knew sharing and kindness are more satisfying.

Nature should be enjoyed by all. That’s one reason I don’t like golf courses.
