AESOP'S FABLES 
2. THE TRAVELLERS AND THE PLANE TREE
    There were two travellers on a bare and dusty road. They were going to another village. On the way they came across a tree known as a Plain tree. They stopped to rest under the tree and looked up at it. Suddenly, one of the travellers said, "What a useless tree this is! It bears no fruit." The plain tree was annoyed to hear them criticize him. It said, "You both are so ungrateful. You've taken shelter under my shade, and you're calling me useless!" The two men were ashamed, so they apologized to the tree and then off they went their way. The Plain Tree stood tall and proud and no man ever had the courage to say anything to him.
    Moral: Many services are met with ingratitude.
