A farmer had a cluster of beautiful bamboo trees. One day he stood before the tallest one and said, “My friend, I need you.” “Sir,” said the bamboo, “Use me in any way you wish, I am ready.” Then the gardener’s voice became serious and he said, “In order to use you, I’ve got to split you in half.” Then the bamboo reacted, “Split me” Oh, no… I’m the nicest bamboo in this garden. Use me in any way you wish, but please don’t split me in half.” “Well,” said the gardener, “if I can’t split you, I can’t use you.” The bamboo went silent. Then it bowed its head and said, “Okay. If the only way you can use me, is by splitting me, go ahead.” “But that’s not all,” said the gardener. “I am going to have to cut off all your branches.” “That will be the end of my beauty,” the bamboo said. “But – if that’s the only way I can be of use – cut me down altogether.” So the farmer cut down the bamboo, removed its branches and split it down the middle. After hollowing out its insides, he brought it to a spring of water. It became a pipe to bring water to the gardens and make them fertile and fruitful.
