and it came to pass that a king had a great field full of beautiful flowers of every kind, many came to his field to gaze at the beauty of his field, one day the kings son went into his fathers field and because of the beauty of the flowers, he got distracted and got lost, several days and nights went by and the prince became painfully thristy and hungry, he prince realized that nowhere in the field could he find a tee to quench his thirst or hunger, the prince called out to the four winds in the hopes that he would be rescued and at that very moment the kings servants found the prince and brought him back to his father, the king filled with joy ordered his servants to plant a fruit tree in the middle of his field capable of sustaining the life of anyone that should ever get lost on his field, for three seasons the king went to the center of his field in search of fruit from the tree he ordered to be planted and each time he found none growing from it, the king said to his servants "I have come three times in search for fruit and have found none growing from this tree, why should it continue to exhaust the soil?, cut it down.", the kings son who was with him when the king gave his order to have the fruit tree be uprooted said to his father, "father, allow it to live for one more season, I will care for it and cultivate its ground with manuer so that it may provide fruit the next season, If it does not bear any fruit after I have cared for it, on the day of the harvest I will have it destroyed.
