Story - :-> Now pull out that one," said the old man pointing to a bush.

A wealthy man requested an old scholar to wean his son away from his bad habits.
The scholar took the youth for a stroll through a garden. Stopping
suddenly he asked the boy to pull out a tiny plant growing there. The
youth held the plant between his thumb and forefinger and pulled
itout. The old man then asked him to pull out a slightly bigger plant.
The youth pulled hard and the plant came out, roots and all.
"Now pull out that one," said the old man pointing to a bush. The boy
had to use all his strength to pull it out.
"Now take this one out," said the old man, indicating a guava tree.
The youth grasped the trunk and tried to pull it out. But it would not
budge.
"I – It's impossible," said the boy, panting with the effort. "So it
is with bad habits," said the wise.
Moral ♥ :"When they are young it is easy to pull them out but when
they take hold they cannot be uprooted."
The session with the old man changed the boy's life.
