In d veranda of a house,a sick old farmer was sitting at his bedstead and coughing loudly.on d name of house he has two small rooms in that his two married sons lived ,and a veranda.after death of his wife old man was passing hislife there below a shed .after being incapable of working in d field due to ageing he made medicine for minor problems of villagers by using pomegranates of his tree and serving people free of cost.one forth part of veranda was occupied with the huge pomegranate tree.instead of two kids of his elder son ,the tree was only one with that he shared all his stories. pomegranates of his tree were of tremendous taste and having ayurvedic qualities. farmer never allowed his sons to sell its pomegranates in d market for earning money. because he believed that god hv blessed it with unique taste for welfare of people and he gave thanks to god by feeding the upper part of tree's pomegranates to birds.in d night he told stories to kids and to tree too.he supposed d tree like his friend and it ws as old as former.
it was shelter to a lots of birds also.many colourful and unique birds came to d tree.it was like aviary that attracts d ppl passing through track and steal d show that gives peace too.some shiny feather birds also enjoyed d fruit.some lived on d tree permanently and some left it during evening after passing d day for an unknown place.
(in a morning,old man was enjoying breakfast in d veranda with kids,his elder son entered....)
farmer:u woke up so late.are u not going to field today??
son:its useless to go there.without water seed doesn't sprouted..
only have to see towards sky dere..

farmer:keep patience!!
everything would b all right. but u must keep watching d crops regularly.
son:(bellowing at his father)
at least u don't advice me.we r facing great trouble dese days .neither grains nor money is in d home.only dis tree can get us ride off from dis situation. pomegranates value are touching sky in d market.ur sons gives u money ,food n take care of u but u don't bother about us.

farmer: if u r taking care of me I HV also given u dis house and field.but I can't sell d fruits .it serves people and many birds too.and you both can't take care of ur old father.
son: I didn't mean it.
I just want that v should save some money in bank too for future by selling d pomegranates, and our tree's pomegranates vl must grab a high cost .
farmer:some things in life should b just for welfare of people not for sale .this tree n its fruits are grace of god so we should spent it to serving people and birds too.
son:its worthless to talk to u ( left d house while stamping)
" sudden neighbour started creating noise;...
"a old woman was fighting her daughter -in- law and blaming her for stealing her coins,that she kept in open for sometimes and some coins got stealed. the daughter in law was discarding all her blames but she was not listening her ")
grandson: grandpa ,u r also having theifed ur coins since many years .may b some ghosts are stealing everyone's money in d night.
farmer:yes my son!!
but I don't know who d hell is doing all this and how.I saved coins for ur ice creams n chocolates but someone steal some coins.
but u don't tell about it to ur father otherwise dey will shout at me and blame me for carelessly doing.
(the next morning old farmer died.)
now d question raised who will arrange money for his crematory.according to his last wish his sons have to feed to 50 brahmin,but his sons don't wanted to expend money for it"...
but villagers knew about it and pressurized to do so for peace of farmer's soul.
at last dey decided to cut off d tree and to sell its wood and pomegranates in market.
some people opposed it because tree was very fruitful and its fruits were like medicine otherwise people have to go to costly medicines for cure of minor health problems.) but his son didn't get agree for not cutting d tree.dey make d reason dat dey r unable to fulfill farmer's last wish due to monetary problems, so dey have to do it.
ripped pomegranates were hanging in d top .both brothers decided to shake d tree first so dat ripped pomegranate fall down, after dat ,cut off d tree.
both started to shake d branches of tree.
surrounding got filled with chattering of birds .lots of chattering birds came out from tree and flies away leaving d tree.but everyone present dere got flashed dere eyes by seeing d rain of coins.it was raining coins from tree with pomegranates too .some nest also fall down and coins within d dry straws of nest made of.
everyone was wonder.
it rained enough for last journey of farmer.
some old n new coins,big and small coins,some dirty and fungous covered coins were showering .....like birds were slapping d human for not showing a concern for a man who serves his life for others ....or putting shame on his sons ..........or a farewell gift and being thankful to d farmer for providing dem shelter and food until his death......
