Question

Can someone summarize this story? The Plane Tree

Two Travelers, walking in the noonday sun, sought the shade of a wide spreading tree to rest. As they lay looking up among the pleasant leaves, they saw that it was a Plane Tree. "How useless is the Plane!" said one of them. "It bears no fruit whatever, and only serves to litter the ground with leaves." "Ungrateful creatures!" said a voice from the Plane Tree. "You lie here in my cooling shade, and yet you say I am useless! Thus ungratefully, O Jupiter, do men receive their blessings!"
Theme of story: "Our best blessings are often the least appreciated."

Answer 1

the story is summarized in two men who, tired of walking, decide to throw themselves to rest. But at that moment a conversation begins about what they see. one tells the other: to observe what was before their eyes. and both instead of valuing the virtues of the tree, they criticize it for its forms.

the story ends by saying that the human being is always dissatisfied with the reality that touches him.

I agree, since the nature of man always looks for something more, and he gives importance to what he has, without giving it value.as an example, roses: they are beautiful flowers with thorns, instead of valuing their beauty and aroma, we complain about them.
