Summary
Jofroi, an ageing peasant, sells his orchard to one of his neighbours, Fonse.  When the trees fail to produce any fruit, Fonse decides he will cut them down.  When he hears of this, Jofroi protests and even threatens to kill himself if Fonse goes ahead.  The mayor and a priest manage to persuade Fonse to keep the trees.  Even when Jofroi dies, of natural causes, Fonse decides to keep some of the trees, in memory of the man for whom the trees meant so much.
