beside our veranda is a coconut tree
which i planted sometime in 1998.
An old and crazy dog, which had been tied
in a nearby tree, almost killed it.
That dog escaped and had a liking of the tree
and ate its bark, until i tied it back there.
A neighbor who had become impatient of
its barking at night finally shot it to death.
We did not complain. He did what we think
we like to happen.

Sometimes, we do not do what we like until
other people do it for us. It is welcome. And
then, as time, in its merciful slowness, make
the coconut grow into a healthy tree with lots
of nuts.
The old crazy dog was buried beside it.
