The Magical tree
There was once a weary traveler who sat down to
rest in the shade of a tree. He did not know
that the tree he rested upon was a magic tree.
It is called " The Wish-Granting Tree." Seated
on the hard ground, he thought how pleasant it
would be if he can sleep in a soft bed.
Instantly, a bed appeared before him.
Astonished, the man immediately climbed onto the
bed. Then, he thought that it would be nice if
there would be a beautiful young girl beside him
who would massage his sore legs. At that moment,
a young girl appeared before him and began
massaging him. "I'm so hungry," the man said to
himself. "Having something to eat now would be a
great pleasure." Instantly, a table appeared
with delicious foods. The man rejoiced and began
eating and drinking to his heart's content. His
head spun a little and his eyelids grew heavy as
the wine took effect. He stretched himself and
was thinking about the wonderful events that
took place on that extraordinary day. "I'll
sleep for an hour or two," he thought. "The
worst that could happen would be if a tiger
wandered by while I'm asleep." Instantly a tiger
appeared and devoured the poor man.
You have a magic tree inside you, waiting to
grant your wishes. But be careful! The same tree
can also make your negative thoughts and fears
come true.
At the very least it will be influenced by your
negative thoughts, so that the good things you
wish for do not happen. That's what worrying can
do. I wish with all my heart that you live a
life free of worry, negative thoughts and fear,
in the shade and comfort of your personal
Wish-Granting Tree
