There
are mango seeds that people throw away, the soil where the seeds are
thrown is fertile so the green shoots start to come out of the seeds.
When the little mango tree saw the world for the first time, he was very
happy and hoped that it would grow into a sturdy tree, bearing fruit
and its fruits were big and sweet.
Mango shoots eventually grow into a sturdy, healthy tree without pests attached to the tree and its leaves. Shady mango leaves attract birds to perch on its branches.
Mango trees have never seen a friend of his kind in the area of land he lives in, so the mango tree feels he is the most powerful mango tree. One day there was a bird who was annoyed by the proud words of the mango tree.
"It takes a long time for you to bear fruit." The word bird to the mango tree.
"Why can you think like that?" Ask the mango tree with curiosity.
"Because you are from seeds, not the result of graft." The bird answered briefly.
"What are grafts?" Asked the mango tree with curiosity because for the first time he heard the grafts word.
"Separating the trunk from the tree to be planted directly, but the trunk that was taken has grown its roots while still in the tree." said the long bird.
"And also if the tree that comes from the seeds has a risk of the fruit has a sour taste or even has the risk of not being able to bear fruit at all." The bird continues its explanation.
"Is that true?" Said the mango tree in surprise.
"Why is that?" Asked the mango tree again in a tone of disbelief.
"Because you come from seeds, and you don't know that your seeds are descended from good or bad types of mango trees.
Although the words of the bird affect the mind of the mango tree a little, he still does not believe the words of the bird. Until one day in the adjoining land, several grafted mango trees were planted by the landowner. It only takes a few years for the grafted mango tree to grow and produce fruit that is very dense, large and sweet.
While the tree that comes from seeds is not yet bearing fruit, even though the tree is taller and the leaves are thicker than a grafted tree. The mango tree feels sad and remembers the words of the bird to him the other day. Mango trees began to be attacked by fear, what if later he could not bear fruit? or if it bears fruit, the fruit has a sour taste. Mango trees that come from seeds are no longer proud of themselves.
Aside from being burdened with his fears, the mango tree is often insinuated by the grafted mango tree because the grafted mango tree has a large and sweet fruit. The grafted mango tree became proud and started to get arrogant. They often insinuate the mango tree which comes from seeds because it is still not yet bearing fruit.
"Humans often say that we are superior seeds because we come from superior species of mango trees, not like mango trees that come from seeds with unclear origins, whether the seeds come from superior seeds or even from bad mango seeds." Said the mango tree grafted to his other friends.
"If you see that until now the mango tree that comes from the seeds is still not bearing fruit, most likely, he is a descendant of a bad mango tree." Said the mango tree (two) while staring at the mango tree that comes from seeds with a mocking smile.
"You can't say that because it can make a mango tree that comes from seeds be sad. Said mango tree (three) pretend to be empathetic.
"It could be a mango tree that comes from fruiting seeds, and may also be fruitful even more bushy fruit than our fruit, but surely the fruit has a very sour taste." Mango tree (three) continues its words while laughing loudly and other friends also laugh.
"If I grow into a mango tree that has dense fruit but my fruit has a sour taste, it's better I never grow into a mango tree." Another mango tree said.
"Me too," said his other friends together.
Mango trees that come from seeds are very sad to hear ridicule from grafted mango trees. Mango trees that come from the seed pray to the sky.
"If indeed I have to grow into a mango tree, give me a chance to grow into a whole mango tree, where I can bear fruit and my fruit is large and sweet so that it can be enjoyed by humans. Being a green tree that can provide oxygen and fresh air to the environment and also giving the birds a place to perch and build their nests, is very good, but with fruit that is thick and sweet, will make me a complete mango tree. "Prayer of the mango tree in the heart.
Every day the mango tree that comes from the seeds pray solemnly and hope the sky hears and the ground responds. Finally, the prayer of the mango tree from the seeds was answered. The mango tree that comes from the seeds finally bears very thick fruit and its fruits are large and very sweet.
Mango shoots eventually grow into a sturdy, healthy tree without pests attached to the tree and its leaves. Shady mango leaves attract birds to perch on its branches.

"Prayer of the mango tree in the heart.
Every day the mango tree that comes from the seeds pray solemnly and hope the sky hears and the ground responds. Finally, the prayer of the mango tree from the seeds was answered. The mango tree that comes from the seeds finally bears very thick fruit and its fruits are large and very sweet.
The
grafted mango trees eventually fell silent and became ashamed of having
mocked and doubted the quality of the mango tree that comes from seeds.
Mango trees grafted often complained about the state of the tree and
they began to be a little jealous of the mango tree that comes from
seeds.
When the rain comes with strong winds, many broken branches and branches of broken mango trees are broken and they have to start complaining.
"Ouch, it hurts my body, humans can only enjoy our fruits but they don't feel our misery," the mango tree (One) told his other friends.
"That's right, sometimes our branches and twigs broke and damaged, pests also start attacking my leaves so I feel very itchy and make my tree being less healthy," said the mango tree (Two).
"Especially when humans start planting our trees, it is very painful. Humans are indeed selfish, they have taken the precaution that if we cannot produce more fruit, they will cut us down and replace us with the results of grafts from our tree." Mango tree (Three) with anger.
"We shouldn't grow into mango trees." The word mango tree (one).
"That's right, or if we grow into a mango tree, we shouldn't have to bear fruit." Said the mango tree (Two).
"You should be grateful when you don't produce fruit, but instead you choose to pray to the heavens to bear fruit. You are stupid!" The word mango tree (One) for a mango tree that comes from seeds.
"That's right." Said his other friends.
"Now that you bear fruit, you will feel pain, just like us, and you will definitely be cut down by humans, and also your tree will fall if hit by strong winds." The word mango tree (two).
"I come from seeds, so my roots are stronger and deeper so that my forehead is not easily broken when hit by strong winds or floods. My tree is very sturdy when hit by strong winds so it is very difficult to fall."
"Even though in the end I might be cut down by humans or my tree fell because the strong wind must be because my tree is very old, but I never regret because I chose to bear fruit." The word mango tree which comes from seeds continues the explanation.
"Isn't the essence of being a mango tree growing into a tree and producing sweet mangoes that humans can enjoy?" Ask a mango tree that comes from seeds to a grafted mango tree.
"You are indeed a strange and stupid mango tree." Said all the mango trees grafted in unison.
"Maybe I'm stupid, but at least in my stupidity, I'm still beneficial to humans, the environment and other living things." The word mango tree comes from the seeds gently.
Since that conversation, the grafted mango tree no longer wanted to talk to the mango tree that came from seeds, and although the mango tree that originated from the seeds invited them to talk, they didn't care.
Mango trees grafted day after day, his work only complained. Until one day because of very heavy rain and very strong winds, several mango trees grafted uprooted and not uprooted finally felled by their owners because they no longer bear fruit.
Sad mango tree that comes from seeds because of the loss of its friend, the mango tree grafted, even though the grafted mango tree has never been friendly with him.
