A Lesson in Patience: The Tale of the Old Man and His Four Sons

Once, an old man wished to teach his four sons a valuable lesson about perspective. He instructed each son to visit his tree in the forest during different seasons: winter, spring, summer, and autumn. When they returned, each son described the tree differently—ugly and dry, green and lively, fruitful and beautiful, or brown with fallen leaves. The old man smiled and revealed that all their observations were correct. He emphasized the importance of patience and understanding, urging them not to make hasty decisions without seeing the bigger picture.
