The master was asked if he had ever experienced disappointment because his efforts brought less fruit than he would like. In response, the Master told the story of a snail that began to climb a cherry tree on a cold, windy day in late spring.
The sparrows on a nearby tree had a lot of fun looking at her. Then one of them flew up to her and asked:
“Hey, don’t you see there are no cherries on this tree?”
Without interrupting her path, the little one answered:
“They will be when I get there.”
