One day a young man came to visit the old man.
"What is the purpose of your visit ",asked the old man.
''O my respected elder , I have a wish ,will you please grant my wish?" , said the young man.
''What is your wish ?", the old man asked.
"Sir, I want to help the needy people for my whole life.I want to serve the human kind."
"Oh! that is very noble wish, I am giving you a magic box it will help you to make your wish come true'', said the old man.
''Thank you so much sir, I am really grateful to you.", the happy young man said.
''But keep in mind , that you must open this box only after reaching home'', the old man warned the man.
On the way to home out of curiosity the young man opened the magic box. And guess what ? He immediately turned into a coconut tree.
But his wish still came true as the coconut tree is very useful and has a lot of benefits for human kind.
