There was one tree in the village that had a lot of fruit. The topmost fruits were the most delicious and healthy. In this village, work was most appreciated and laziness was hated. But there were also lazy guys. One of them was Mark. This was his main problem, he just didn't want to make a living somehow, so people even stopped helping him. therefore, he was left all alone, and no one helped him.He was starving because he was poor. And his only way to survive was to eat this fruit.
-omg,the world is cruel - almost crying,said Mark
Approaching the tree, he saw how juicy and pleasant the fruits growing at the top were, and how strange they were at the bottom. A wise man was passing by and decided to give advice to Mark.
- Climb the tree and pluck the fruit from above. You will be pleased by eating only one piece.- Why should I try and climb up if I can just pick fruit from the bottom?- Mark asked, puzzled
-Because that's the meaning of a happy life. work hard to achieve something. - exhaling sadly, the wise man left.
But since Mark didn't want to waste time and try at all, he just picked one fruit from a bottom and ate it. He was pleased, but soon he got worse. quietly, he was getting worse and worse, he couldn't breathe.
And a few hours later he died because the fruit was poisonous.
-Sorry... - it was his last word.
That's where this expression came from in my opinion . Low hanging fruits - the easiest, sometimes dangerous ways.
