Parable about the Gardener and the Writer

I came across a wonderful “Parable about the Gardener and the Writer” on Leonid Kaganov’s website. I suggest to get acquainted:

One day, the Gardener told the Writer: “Give you a plot idea? I myself have no time to write, and I don’t really know how, and you will have a wonderful novel! ”“ How can I thank you? - the Writer exclaimed, - Take my apple core as a gift! Half a dozen seeds are in it: they will disappear from me, and you will grow a beautiful apple orchard! ”

So, without the work invested in the idea, it (the idea) is worth nothing.
