A very caring, loving man found a beautiful seed but wasn't sure which flower it was. Well when you find a seed and you intend to plant it, one subconsciously wish it is a flower maybe the one which is very rare, fragrant and what not, its human to think so.
So this man planted it in very expensive plant pot, best manure was used and he spend many hours daily to take care of it. Very diligently the plant was watered (in proportionate manner ) , subjected to day light and never over done. Well the efforts paid off and the seed sprouted, the man was very happy he spend hours appreciating the light greens, the small soft curls and even more happy with the prospect that it will one day have the world's most lovely flowers. It never occurred to him that it can be something other than a flower bearing plant, well love can be overlooking. Someone once quipped to him "it (plant sprouts) seems to be a tree sprout", must have been a botanist to say that with just a look at spout, but our man not even heard him, was busy tending to the soil in plant pot.
The plant grew up fast, and so did the man's hope to see what he had so tirelessly longed for. But the day didn't come , the grew and branched but not a flower.Our man was pissed, he had given the best to the plant the soil, the day light, the water , all his care but plant wasn't bearing any flower or fruit. The plant kept growing and branches multiplied, man still haven't given up on it he knew its very soon , he'll see the flowers so to keep the growing plant within the house he trimmed the leaves an branches, someone suggested that, his own experiences or must have goggled it, on this our plant starts shrinking and started looking pale , man was disappointed with the plant and his efforts.
One day a friend ( botanist ) visited the man, he saw a grieving friend and the dying plant and " it is a tree my friend, how do you expect it to blossom inside a house, re-plant it in garden i am sure it will grow and grow to the extent you cannot imagine.... ". Man thought how will it ( the plant ) survive the extreme nature, the herbivores, and what not. So was unwilling but later agreed and planted it in garden.
A few days passed the man uneasy letting go off the plant was even more worried with the even deteriorating condition of the plant in the world outside. At this juncture he started ignoring the plant, as this plant never was the one , he imagined and wished it to be, he all together stopped walking past the corner where he had planted it once.
Years passed by our man who had moved out of the city by this time, one spring happened to be visiting an old friend in the same neighborhood where he once lived and the memories of the old plant came rushing back to him. He was filled with an unexplained feeling to visit the site he had long abandoned . He visited the place an was happily surprised to see a massive lush tree in the same spot where he once had planted his unyielding plant and to his utter amazement the was bearing yellow flowers unlike he had ever imagined or seen..... many emotions all at once the man felt and so did the tree.
