THANKS TO GOD

A peasant driving a donkey reached a melon farm.Tired and thirsty,he sat down and rested under the shade of a nearby walnut tree.Enjoying the view of the spreading vines of big watermelons, he looked up and noticed a few walnuts dangling among the very high branches of a monstrously high tree.Bewildered by the work of God,he wondered why small walnuts grew on such an enormous tree, while the big watermelons hung from a flat and flimsy vine.The puzzled peasant was lost in his thoughts when a falling walnut hit his head.He stretched his hands high up towards the sky and said thankfully,"O Almighty God, it was clever of you not to let melons grow on big trees, for I would have been dead by now."
