coconut palm

A man is sitting under a coconut palm, basking in the sun, and another man — a businessman — walks by and says, 'What are you doing just sitting there doing nothing?'
'You'd be better off collecting these coconuts, taking them to the market, and selling them,' he says. 'Then you could buy a car, collect even more coconuts, and earn even more money. Eventually, you could hire people to collect the coconuts while you lay under the palm tree doing nothing.'
'Well, I'm already lying under the palm tree doing nothing,' replied the man calmly, 'so I'll just continue to relax'

A man was sitting under a coconut palm, enjoying the sunshine, when a businessman walked by and asked, «What are you doing just sitting there doing nothing?»

«You would be better off running for politics, becoming a minister or a prime minister,» the businessman suggested. «Then you could make policies, collect taxes, and earn even more power. Eventually, you could hire people to run the country while you sit back and enjoy the luxuries of your office.»

«Well, I'm already enjoying the simple pleasures of life under this coconut palm,» replied the man calmly, «so I'll just continue to relax. And just as I don't see you fit to be a coconut farmer, I don't see myself fit to be a politician like you.»
