Long time ago,
tere was a big apple tree. A little boy loved to play nearby and played
around this apple tree. He climbed to the top of the apple tree, ate
apples and fell asleep under its shadow every day. He loved the apple
tree and the apple tree also loved him too. The time passed, The little
boy grew up. He didn't play around the tree everyday again.
The little boy was very excited.
He picked all of the apples from the tree and left happily. After picking all
of the apples, he never came back to the apple tree again. The tree became sad.
One day, the little boy came
back to the apple tree but he grew up so the tree was excited.
" Do you come to see me and
play with me?" , asked the apple tree.
"I have no time to play
because I have my own family. I must work for my family. We need a house. Can
you help me?"
" I don't have a house to
give you but you can cut my branches and make a house. "
Thus, The little boy cut all of
its branches and happily he left. Once again, the tree was left alone and sad.
In summer, a day came, the
little boy came back to the apple tree. the tree was very happy.
" Do you come to see me and
play with me?", asked the tree.
"No. I feel disappointed
with my life. I get older than before. I would like to sail far away for
recreation. Can you give me a boat? "
" Take my trunk in order to
build your boat so that you can sail away." , answered the apple tree.
Thus, the boy cut down the tree
for making his boat. Then, he sailed away and no longer came back.
Many years passed, the boy
reappeared but this time, he looked very old than the last time.
" I am sorry. I don't have
anything left for you. I don't have apples for you to eat or the trunk and
branches for you to climb.", said the tree.
"I don't have teeth to eat
the apples. I can't climb the tree. I am very old."
" I have nothing to give
you but only one thing left if my old roots about to die."
" Now, I don't want
anything else. I just want a place for relying on. have been tired for many
years."
" The root of an old tree
can be the place for you. Come on. Sit by me and sleep well."
This is the story for everyone.
The apple tree in this tale is regarded as our parents. When we were
young, we loved playing with them. When we grow up, we leave them. We
come back to them when we need something or when we have problems.
Anyway, our dad and mom will be there and give us everything they can
find, hoping we wre happy. you might think that the litte boy in this
tale is so mean but it is true that show the truth how we treat them.
How about your apple tree?, the little boy....
