There was a man who had a big garden. He planted many fruit trees. When the fruits were ready, he wanted to pick up thefruits and sell them to make money for his family.
One day, when he picked fruits with his son, he saw a stranger sitting in a tree and picking the fruits. He shouted, "What are you doing in my tree?For a whole year I have taken care of these trees. Youhave no right to take the fruits, so come down at once!"The stranger in the tree answered, "This is the garden of God and I am the servant(佣人)of God, so I have the right to pick these fruits. "
The gardener was very surprised at this answer. He called his son and said, "Go to bring a rope and get this man down from the tree, "His son brought the rope and the gardener asked him to tie(绑)the stranger in the tree. The stranger began to shout, "Youhave no right to do this. "
The gardener answered, "This is the rope of God and I am also the servant of God, so I have the right to tie you. "The stranger thought for a while and then said, "I am sorry for taking the fruits. This is your garden and I shouldn't pick the fruits. Please set me free. "
The gardener smiled and said, "Since you have realized your mistake, I will set you free, but remember that God has given all his servants rights and every person's right is in his own hands. "
