My Mr. Mango Knows How To Revenge...!

This is a mango tree. It has leaves and branches. It gives mango fruits. (Aama mangga marathule mangga kaaikkame thenggai ah kaaikkum...!) Hmm....yeah these are the facts that everyone knew! But do you know, it has eyes to watch, ears to listen and it take revenge too....? Unbelievable right!!??

Let me tell you the story. 
This mango tree was planted 12 years back by my ex-neighbour when we all shifted to the newly built housing area. The mango plant takes ages to grow and stopped its height at 1.5m. 

The good neighbour who planted the tree, had shifted to other area and requested us to water the tree daily. Yes, that's what we did without fail. After one year, it grows wonderfully and helps us to give mango leaves for our prayer days. And surprisingly it starts to bloom and ready to bear fruit. Our ex-neighbour visited the tree and shared their happiness, once we informed the tree's growth.

After the new neighbour shifted in to the next house, we got some restriction in plucking the leaves. They used to watch, on how many leaves are being plucked...! And the worst part is, when the tree is started to bear fruits, we were told by them to stop plucking the leaves. And they started to cover the fruits with papers and make the ownership. (only because it was planted in their house border)

I think all these conversations and acts by our new neighbour was watched by that tree. So at the time of fruiting season came, all the fruits were rotten and with worms in it. We never try to pluck it but it falls all over the places at front of the both houses. The neighbour gave us some fruit to eat, but we found that were rotten too.

And the real revenge starts after this. For the second fruiting season, the tree has grown up with thick bunches of leaves facing my house car porch (as you can see in the first picture). And the spoil branches with less leaves were facing their house car porch. Surprisingly, this time the fruits were so sweet and healthy. As you can see in the 2nd pictures, the tree bears fruit as 4 or 5 times like shown in the picture, and all were at our housing side only. 


So Mr.Mango, you really took a revenge on them huh...???
