A man relaxes day in day out, for many years, under the shade of a tree, on the edge of a beautiful tropical beach.
He enjoys watching the waves break on the shore, the bird flying, the clouds shifting through the sky, and the eventual sunsets of each passing day.
When he gets hungry, he feeds himself on the delicious falling fruits of the surrounding trees.
He does this day in day out for many years.
One day a man in a suit comes along, and sees this man sitting under the tree.and asks, “What are you doing here?”
“Oh, hello, I am just sitting here watching the birds, and the waves” replies the Tree Man. ”
The Suited Man asks “Well, what do you do for work?”
“Oh, well I don’t work” the Tree Man replies.
The Suited Man looks astounded, “Why don’t you pick up some of these fruits and take them to the market, you could make some money from that”
“OK, well after that what do I do?” asks the Tree Man.
The Suited Man “Well after you sell enough fruits you can buy yourself a wheel barrow, and take more to the market faster”
“OK, so after that what do I do?”
The Suited Man “Well after you do that for a while you can get yourself a truck and take more to the market.”
“OK, so whats after that ?”
The Suited Man ” Well after you do that a while you can come back here and sit under your tree.”
