Old Adam was as old as hills and as he sat under the shade of an olive tree there came a young boy who had something to show. The boy wouldn’t at first tell what it was and having made the old man curious he led him to an apple orchard. “ This was full once upon a time.” Said the boy conversationally.
There were only two trees standing side by side. The boy wanted to know the tree he ate from. The old man looked and he pointed the one that had green apples. He said,” I was green when I ate the apple.” The boy pointed out to the tree bearing red apples and asked: “So this isn’t the right one?” “ It could be or I may be wrong. You see the good Lord saw red when I ate one.”
Tailpiece: Our experience in the past has merely led us to a blind alley. We are stuck since we cannot see beyond our noses. We miss the big picture and our long- term interests since we take care to satisfy our immediate cravings.
