The document discusses a gardener who cut down a currant bush that was not yielding berries, with the bush questioning why it was cut down since it felt it was doing well. The gardener explains that he is the expert gardener who knows what each plant needs to be, and that the currant bush needs to be a currant bush that yields berries rather than trying to be an oak tree. The bush thanks the gardener for loving it enough to cut it down so it can fulfill its purpose of bearing fruit.
