The Four Apple Trees

"The Four Apple Trees" is a short fable by Emilie Poulsson that quietly examines what it truly means to do a job well. When a landowner must leave home before planting his orchard, he hires a worker who takes four full days to plant just four trees — digging wide holes, spreading roots carefully, and hauling rich soil from the woods. The impatient owner returns, dismisses the slow approach, and rushes through the rest himself. What follows is a stark contrast between haste and dedication, played out over years of fruit — and silence.
