Rather you must be careful to plant as it says, "When you shall come to the land and you shall plant any food tree.” (Levit. I am the old man whom you found on your way three years ago and you said to me, ‘You are an old man, so why bother yourself and exhaust yourself working for others?’ However, the Omnipresent One has permitted me to eat from the fruit of my plantings. For if the Holy One, blessed be He, had not hidden from man's heart the thought of his imminent death, he would never build nor plant, for he would say that tomorrow he would die, so why should he get up and get tired for others. Adriyonus asked him, "You are an elderly man, so why are you standing and working and tiring yourself for others?" He answered, "My master the king, I am planting now and if I merit I will eat from the fruits of my planting. These that are in the basket are a present from me." Right away Adriyonus told his servants to take the basket from him, remove the figs and to refill it with gold coins. He took a basket and filled it with the beautiful first-to-ripen figs and gave it to Adriyonus, saying, "My master the king, please receive this from your servant. Thus we see that one should never say that he is too old, how much longer will he live, and why should he get up and get tired for others since he is soon to die. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Source: From Etz Hayyim Hee by Rachmiel Hayyim Drizin – Supplement, page 3-4, as adapted from Midrash Tanhuma (Kedoshim ch. 19:23) Just as when you entered the land and found plants that others had planted, so too shall you plant for your descendants. But if not, then my children will eat." Adriyonus was at war for 3 years and he then found the same old man in the same place.
