 
Once upon a time, there was a compassionate peach tree. One day, a little boy went up to the peach tree and asked it kindly if he could have a peach. The tree was very compassionate and said yes. So, the little boy plucked one peach off the tree and began to slide down the ground with it.
On the way home, however, the little boy met a mean old man. The old man noticed the juicy peach in the little boy's hands and demanded it. The boy tried to explain that the tree was very compassionate and gave it to him, but the old man just laughed and said,
"That doesn't matter! Give me the peach now, or else!"
The little boy had no choice but to reluctantly hand over the peach. He sadly slid away, sad that he had been unable to keep the peach.
This ominous encounter foreshadowed some trouble for the little boy in the future. Indeed, a few days later, the same mean old man confronted the little boy again and this time he demanded his entire bag of peaches. No matter how much the little boy pleaded, the old man would not relent and ended up taking all his peaches.
Afterwards, the little boy sadly slid home, empty-handed. He had lost everything he had worked for with the peach tree, simply because he hadn't been able to keep the one peach he was given.
