Bastobota without reality chara

After walking for long hours, two travelers, seeking relief from the heat of the mid-day sun, took shelter under a leafy tree. They soon felt cool and refreshed. “What sort of tree is this? Does it produce seasoned fruits?” asked one of the travelers to the other. “It’s a plane tree,” said his companion. “Don’t waste your time looking for fruits. It produces neither fruits nor good wood. It’s one of the most useless trees around.” 

“How can you say that when you’re enjoying my shade at this very moment?” snapped the tree.

Moral: Often, a person’s worst critics are those who have benefited the most from him.
