Ask owners before taking

                             Ask owners before taking

It was mango season. In the village, there are many mango farms. Children were playing there. They spotted a mango tree with ripe and juicy mangoes. As they were small, they didnt know how to climb tree. But they were having the ambition to eat mangoes. Now what to do? They started throwing stones at tree so that any of the mangoes will fall down.
But bad luck, no mango did fall. But they continued their try. They continued throwing stones. At the other side of tree, a man was sleeping under the shade of the tree. A stone hit him. He got hurt and started bleeding. Now he came infront of children with his bleeding head.
Children are horrified to see a bleeding man. They knew that he got hurt because of the stones thrown by them. They were afraid that man may scold them or may hit them also. By seeing their worried faces, man smiled. He said the children not to get scared.
He said " Even if you throw stones at tree, it will give back fruits to you without complaining. When a tree can do that, how can I punish you? I will not punish you people. But from next time, ask the owner that you want to take something. Dont take anything unless asking permission by respective owner of the thing ." Listening to this, children ran near the owner of the mango farm to ask his permission to take mangoes.
