A rich man was once riding along the road and saw an old man digging in his garden. On the ground
lay a young tree,ready to be planted.The rich man called out to the old man, "What kind of tree are you
planting there, my good man?"
"This is a fig (无花果) tree,sir," he said.

old."?

a boy?" "Sure,"the rich man did not know why he asked this question."Then tell me this,"he said."Who
planted the fig trees?" "Why? I don"t know." "You see, sir," went on the old man."Our forefathers (祖先)
planted trees for us to enjoy and I am doing the same for the people after me."?
