A young farmer walked across his field. He observed all of the fruit and vegetables that his farm was producing for him. His biggest cash crop, maple tree syrup, was producing a large amount this year. He observed and stood in awe as the sweet, smooth, sap flowed out of the maple trees. The young farmer grabbed his buckets full of sap and took them back to his home so that he could get them ready for market the next weekend. He took good care of his Maple trees. Made sure each day they were watered, he fed them as much food as he possibly could, he even read to them, hoping that it would keep them giving him the sap he needed. He loved his maple trees.
During one of his mid harvest breaks, the farmer was sitting down drinking some met with a strange visitor. The visitor was clad in an all-black suit, with a red tie being the only other thing he had on. The suit was tattered, and slightly dingy.
