In my researches into the author and playwright Sir JM Barrie(Who was a Theosophist) in his book SENTIMENTAL TOMMY is a subtle version contained in the chapter The Hanky School , where the School Misteress, Miss Aillie's garden is her pride and joy had a large fruit tree that was always plundered when the fruit were ripe, she hung a notice which read "Those stealing fruit be mindful and not trample the flowers"
There is more to JMBarrie than Peter Pan.
cheers Iain

Why Not Laugh at Yourself?

One day Nasrudin found a dervish stealing figs in his orchard.
As he grabbed the fakir by the neck he shouted:
"What do you think you are doing here sheikh?"
"Nothing wrong," answered the Sufi with insolent confidence. "I am
Allah's loving servant, feeding on the fruit of God's tree in Allah's
garden."
"Is that so", growled the Hodja and proceeded to beat him with no pity
but with a solid wooden stick instead.
"Wicked sinner! screamed the dervish, how do you dare rising your hand
upon a saint? Don't you see what you are doing?"
"Nothing wrong," replied the Hodja, "Just hitting the servant of
Allah, with the stick of Allah, under the tree of Allah, to preserve
Allah's garden"
