Habib and the Bear
In the ancient land of Persia, there lived a man
named Habib. Habib raised figs to sell in the village.
and every year he planted a few more fig trees
Over time, his grove grew too large for one man to
tend
Some kinds of help are not het
at all
One morning. Habib was especially tired. Carrying a
basket of figs to market, he thought, "Today I must
find a helper to share my work."
No one should ever ask for
from others
At the market, everyone was happy to see Habib
for he was a kind man who never found fault with
anyone. "Do you know someone I can hire to work
for me?" he asked each customer. But no one knew
a worker who needed a job
Farmers who are bears are
asking for trouble
