Lesson: Blackberry Tree
Lesson : Blackberry Tree
There was a heavy thunderstorm in the night. A blackberry tree fell on the lawn of the Secretariat. When the gardener saw it in the morning, he came to know that a man was buried under the tree.
The gardener ran and ran to the peon, the peon ran to the clerk, the clerk ran to the superintendent. The superintendent came running outside in the lawn. Within minutes, a crowd gathered around the man buried under the fallen tree.
"How fruitful was the poor blackberry tree," said a clerk.
"Its berries were so juicy," said the second clerk.
“I used to carry my bag during the fruit season. My children used to eat its berries so gladly," said the third clerk, filling his throat.
"But this man?" The gardener pointed to the man buried under the tree.
"Yes, this man!" the superintendent thought.
"I don't know whether he is alive or dead?" asked a peon.
"Must have died. How can he survive such a heavy trunk that fell on his back?” said the second peon.
"No, I'm alive," said the buried man, barely moaning.
"Alive?" said one clerk in astonishment.
"The tree should be removed and taken out," the gardener advised.
"It seems difficult," said a cowardly and fat peon. "The trunk of the tree is very heavy and heavy."
"What's the problem?" said the gardener. "If the Superintendent sir gives orders, now fifteen to twenty gardeners, peons and clerks can pull out the man buried under the tree with great strength."
"The gardener is right." Many clerks spoke at once. "Hold on, we're ready."
Quite a lot of people got ready to cut the tree.
"Wait," said the superintendent, "let me consult the under-secretary."
The superintendent went to the under secretary. The under secretary went to the deputy secretary. The Deputy Secretary went to the Joint Secretary. The Joint Secretary went to the Chief Secretary. The Chief Secretary said something to the Joint Secretary. The Joint Secretary told the Deputy Secretary. The Deputy Secretary told the Under Secretary. The file kept running. Half a day passed in this.
At lunchtime, there was a huge crowd around the buried man. People were talking all kinds of things. Some nerdy clerks wanted to take the matter into their own hands. He was preparing to remove the tree himself without waiting for the decision of the government, when the superintendent came running around with the file, saying, “We cannot remove this tree from here by ourselves. We are the employees of the commerce department and this is the case of the tree, the tree comes under the agriculture department. That's why I am sending this file to the Agriculture Department by marking it as urgent. It will be removed as soon as the reply comes from there.
The next day a reply came from the Agriculture Department that the responsibility of removing the trees rests with the Commerce Department.
The commerce department got angry after reading this answer. He...
