　　The monkey and the elephant asked the quail， “As far back as you can remember， what was the size of this banyan tree？”

　　The quail said， “When I was young， I was looking for food in a nearby forest. In that forest， there was a big old banyan tree， which was full of ripe berries. I ate some of those berries， and the next day I was standing right here. This was where I let my droppings fall， and the seeds they contained grew up to be this very tree！”

　　The monkey and the elephant said， “Aha！ Sir quail， you must be the oldest. You deserve our respect and honour. From now on we will pay close attention to your words. Based on your wisdom and experience， advise us when we make mistakes. When there are disagreements， we will give the highest place to your opinion. We ask only that you be honest and just.”

　　The quail replied， “I thank you for your respect， and I promise to always do my best to deserve it.” It just so happened that this wise little quail was the Bodhisatta the Enlightenment Being.

　　The moral is： Respect for the wisdom of elders leads to harmony.
