The greedy coconut

The first time my brother-in-law visited our province, this was his comment. He told us that our coconut trees are greedy. I was puzzled about his statement and asked him what did he mean. He laughed out loud of my reaction and explained why. When I understood what he meant, I laughed at it too. He commented such thing because of the trees' heights. He was comparing them with theirs in his place. He said that in their place, the trees are only up to roof level or only surpasses about one to three meters from the roof of the one story house and are easily to harvest. But in our province is different, they are as high as six stories building. It seems that the trees do not like to give their fruits. I answered him. Well, the climber was able to manage it. How did they do that? They just simply chapped a little part of the truck enough for their feet to step on and they did it alternate until it reaches to the peak. The chapped parts will be there forever.
