One fine beautiful morning, a chirpy sparrow flew out of his cozy nest and sat near the apple tree. As he surveyed the world around him, his eyes fell on a small snail. The little snail unaware of anyone watching him, was painstakingly trying to climb the tree. The sparrow flapped his wings to catch the snail’s attention but in vain.Then in a sarcastic tone he said. “Don’t you know, friend that it is not the season for apples?”
The snail replied.“True, my dear friend, but it will be, by the time I get there."
And the little snail continued his effort in climbing the tree.
