The Creation of Trees

When Shankar Bhagwan, the creator, made the first man, there was no tree, no leaf on earth. The man said, “Lord, what will I eat? How will I live?” The creator pulled three hairs from his own body, and from them made three great trees. Then the man said “But lord, there are no fruit on these trees. Three will remain three, and three must die one day.” Then Shankar Bhagwan took the ash coating his matted hair and sprinkled the trees with it, and they began to flower and fruit. So in the days before we knew how to grow grain, it was trees that filled our stomachs with their fruit.
