He did not try to clear away a spot for it amid the old, overgrown parts of the land, but he called upon certain workers to go to a distant part of the garden where nothing had been planted for a long time, and there prepare the ground for the planting of the tree.
These workers were faithful to their master and did as they were told.

Very few of the enemy's noxious weeds were growing in the new soil, so it was not such hard work to clear the ground and prepare a place for the master to plant his tree.
To be better protected against the enemy, the master told his workmen to build a high, strong wall about that part of the garden.

This was all done; and then one beautiful spring day the owner came with his servants.

They had with them the precious tree taken from some other garden where it had grown without hindrance from weeds.

The tree was planted and put in charge of other servants to tend it.
