Chhura and the Chengkek fruit
In a kitchen garden there is a fruit tree which goes by the name of chengkek and which bears beautiful red fruits. The outer covering of this fruit is very sour to taste, whereas the pulp is juicy and sweet. This tree does not grow very tall and it is therefore not difficult for any person of normal height to pluck the fruit.
One day, Chhura was passing by this tree and he became very pleased when he anticipated the taste of the beautifule fruit which would be his after a short time. He came up to the tree and pulled down the branches laden with fruit and could have easily plucked and eaten the fruit. But somehow in his mind, the idea of plucking the fruit could not be dissociated from climbing the tree itself.
In case of the Chengkek tree, as we all know, the trunk is too slender to bear the weight of man. That was why Chhura dared not climb up the tree.
So, he kept pulling down the branches but not plucking the fruit. While pulling the branches up and down Chhura said to himself that if only Nahaia, his great companion were there he would so easily be able to tackle the problem that baffled him completely. So he never ate the fruit.
Chhura said to himself,'If only Nahaia was here, how easily he would have solved this problem. But me, not for me, not for me, I despair' So he never plucked the fruit and he left the place without eating it. |
