A young traveller was visiting the French Alps. He came upon a vast stretch of barren land. It was just a desert. It was the kind of place we run away from! Then, suddenly, the young traveller noticed something unusual. In the middle of this vast wasteland was an old man. On his back was a sack of oak nuts. In his hand was an iron pipe. The man was using the iron pipe to punch holes in the ground. Then from the sack he would take a seed and put it in the hole. The Traveller approached the old man and asked what he was doing? He said, "I've planted over 100,000 oak seeds here. Perhaps only a tenth of them will grow." The old man's wife and son had died, and this was how he chose to spend his final years. "I want to do something useful," he said. The traveller had an opportunity to visit the place once again, after twenty-five years. What he saw amazed him. He could not believe his eyes. The land was covered with a beautiful forest. Birds were singing, animals were playing, and wild flowers perfumed the air. A desert was turned into a forest-all because someone cared.
