The Banana Tree

“Spend each day trying to be a

little wiser than you were when

you woke up. Day by day, and at

the end of the day – if you live

long enough – like most people,

you will get out of life

what you deserve.”

~ Charlie Munger

The Banana Tree

Sreenath was lying on his couch in the living room. It was
hot and he had just finished a meal of rice and curd. He
was sweating. He wanted to put the fan on but was feeling
lazy. So, he kept lying down, wishing someone would put
it on. Today was a holiday from school and he did not
want to get up at all.

Ten minutes went past. Sreenath could not go off to sleep.
But he would not get up either. He did not even toss and
turn due to the heat. He just lay still, wondering when the
fan would start.
