When Heaven produces a tree of a hundred feet,
It can mostly be cut into long boards.
It’s pitiable that the worthy timber for beams and pillars
Is wasted in some remote and secluded valley.
In spite of old age its core is still strong,
But in course of time its bark gradually getting peeling.
Once those who know worth come and take it away,
As it can still be used for some stable post.
