One time, there lived a big apple
tree and a boy who liked to play around under the apple tree everyday. He was
happy to climb up to the top of the tree, eat the fruit, a nap in the shade of
the shade leaves. The boy loved the apple tree. Similarly, the apple tree is
very love little boy too.
Time flies. The boy had grown big
and no longer playing with the apple tree every day. One day he went to the
apple tree. His face looked sad.
“Come over here and play with me,” said the apple tree.
“I’m not a little kid playing with the tree again,” replied the boy.
“I want to have toys, but I’m not having money to buy it.”
The tree replied, “Sorry, but I did not have money … but you can take all
of my fruit and sell it. You can get the money to buy toys. “
The boy was very happy. He grabbed all the apples on the tree and left
happily. However, after that the boy never came back. The tree was sad again.
One day the boy returned again. Tree was so excited.
“Come play with me anymore,” said the apple tree.
“I do not have the time,” replied the boy.
“I have to work for my family. We need a house for shelter. Will you help
me? “
“Sorry, but I don’t have a house. But you can cut down all of my branches
to build your house”, said the apple tree. Then the boy cut all of the branches
and twigs that apple tree and left happily.
The tree was also felt happy to see the boy happy, but the boy never came
back again. The tree was lonely and sad again.
One hot summer day, the boy returned again. The tree was delighted.
“Come and play again with me,” the tree said.
“I’m sad,” said the boy.
“I’m old and want to live in peace. I want to go on vacation and sailing.
Will you give me a boat to cruise? “
“Sorry, but I don’t have a boat, but you may cut my trunk and use it to
create a ship that you want. Go sailing and have fun. “Later, the boy cut the
tree trunk and makes a dream ship.
He then went sailing and never again came to the apple tree.
Finally, the boy returned again after all these years later.
“I’m sorry my son,” said the apple tree.
“I do not have apple for you anymore.”
“It’s okay. I also have no teeth to bite your fruit, “replied the boy.
“I don’t have a trunk and branches you can climb,” said the apple tree.
“Now, I’m too old for that,” replied the boy.
“I really do not have anything more can I give to you. What remains is my
roots old and dying, “said the apple tree with tears.
“I do not need anything else right now” said the boy.
“I just need a place to rest. I was so tired after all these years. “
“Oooh, very nice. Do you know? The root of old trees is the best place to
lie down and rest. Come, lay in the arms of my roots and rest in peace. “
The boy lay in the arms of tree roots.
The tree was glad and smiled with tears in his eyes
