A traveller weary of his travel sought to rest under a nut tree. As he relaxed he spotted a pumpkin on a thin vine. He felt that nature was sometimes disproportionate. "He thought, how foolish are the ways of nature. A small vine holds a pumpkin and a huge tree as this holds nuts" He further muttered, "If I were to make the world, I would have done the reverse in a more organised way".

The traveller was thus thinking of nature's unorganised ways when suddenly a nut from the tree fell on his head with force. Startled as he looked up, the truth dawned on him that had it been the pumpkin instead of the nut, it could have certainly killed him. The truth humbled him as he apologized within for his arrogance.

Thus Nature is always at its best .
