The poor tree had been plucked off all its fruits. It looked moribund. The tree that inside yard was protected by a majestic walls. Hence it did not suffer disturbance from the children.


After a year, the trees bared fruit again but a strange phenomenon occurred. The tree that was beaten badly bear more fruit than the one inside the yard. It had double the amount of red date than the other one . It has a strange temper , the more beating it gets, more fruit it will bear in the coming year. This mean the number of beating is directly proportional to amount the red dates. ^^
