The Camellia Tree to Which a Cow Was Tethered by Nankichi Niimi, translated from original Japanese by Mr. Nissim Bedekar, assistant professor of Japanese Language, EFLU, HYD, is a quiet, poignant tale about dignity, rejection, and slow transformation of human heart.
 
After being humiliated for drinking water from a distant well shaded by a camellia tree-because his cow had stripped the tree off its leaves, while being tethered there at the same incident, a poor man resolves to dig his own well, to serve his people, despite having little money and no one to help.
