Apple Tree and Mango Tree

All in a day's work...

(1) Apple Tree
An apple tree can only give you so much apples. Even if you whip it some more, it will not give you more apples than it did last year. (Given the same favourable conditions) So, the solution is not to stand there and scold the apple tree but to either steal your neighbours apples or plant more yourself to ensure better harvest.

(2) Mango Tree
This passerby was walking along a fence, and noticed that in the compound beyond the fence, there is a mango tree. Better still, she notices that there is a branch from which nice ripe mangoes are hanging and what more, they are within her reach! She plucks one and tastes it immediately. Arh! It's sour. She's disappointed and upset. What does she do? She rings the bell, demands to see the owner and scolds the owner for their sour mangoes.
