The leaves falling from the bigger trees would often be seen around the small tree. Life did not seem too good for the little chap. One day a group of big deers came grazing to the area. The little tree was scared as it was the smallest one there and easily accessible to the deers. True to its fear the deers ate its leaves and to make matters worse they would shit right there near the base of the tree. Situation was grim and the tree sad. Not knowing what to do it waited patiently and held on. Slowly as the deers moved around, they buried the feces and the leaves under the soil.
