Once upon a time, there was a large single standing peach tree. The tree had stood there for over one-hundred years. One day, a greedy man came over to the tree. The soldier took a peach from the beautiful, full tree, and took a bite.

The greedy man took a bite from the sweet, juicy fruit and smiled. The man was not hungry at all. He was only full of greed. Not at all thinking of others, he threw the peach pit on the ground and walked away. "I should go and tell the others of this delicious fruit!" said the man.

Since the solider enjoyed his peach so much, he wanted to share the fruit with the other men around. More men came over to the tree and fed on the delicious, sweet, juicy fruit. The men had no clue what they had done to the tree. They only cared about themselves and what benefited them.

One of the men looked round. All the peaches were gone from the tree except for the ones which were spoiled. "Is anyone hungry?" the man questioned the others. All the others looked around, but no one said anything. A few moments later, the same man asked, "Does anyone want to find something else to feed on?". Each man nodded their heads, threw their peach pits on the ground, and wandered off.

As the men began to multiply in greed, years passed. Many lives were changed. Thousands of people came into this world, and millions left. The men left the meadow in lusting for something else just to have it.

Hundreds of years went by and the men who picked the peaches were dead now. They have grandchildren and great-grandchildren who now play in the meadow. A generations passed families living near the meadow could watch the pits on the ground slowly turn into fruit full trees. Little did the men know that by their acts of greed, they were only making the world stronger.
