A long time ago
There was a hug apple tree
A little boy loved to come
And play aroud it everyday
He climb to the tree top, ate the apples,
took a nap under the shadow
He loved the tree, and the tree loved to play with him
Time went by, and the little boy had grown up
And he no longer played around the tree everyday
One day the boy came back to the tree, and he looked sad
“Come and play with me” the tree asked the boy
The boy replied “I am no longer a kid.
I do not play around the trees anymore”
“I want toys. I need money to buy them”
“Sorry. I don’t have money.
But you can pick all my apples, and sell them.
So, you will have money” said the tree
The boy was so excited.
He grabbed all the apples on the tree
and left happily.
The boy never came back after he pick the apples.
The tree was sad.
One day, the boy who now turned into a man returned
And the tree was excited
“Come and play with me” The tree said.
“I do not have time to play. I have to work for my family.
We need a hose for shelter. Can you help me?”
“Sorry, I do not have any house
But you can chop off my branches
To build your house” the tree said
So the man cut all the branches of the tree and left happily
The tree was glad to see him happy.
But the man never came back since then
The tree was again lonely and sad
One hot summer.
The man came again
Come and play with me” The tree said
“I am getting old. I want to go sailing to relax my self.
Can you give me a boat?”Said the man
“Use my trunk to make your boat.
You can sail far away and be happy” The tree said
So the man cut the tree trunk to make a boat
He went sailing and never showed up for a long time
Finally, the man returned after many years
“No more apples for you” The tree said.
“No problem. I do not have any teeth to bite” The man replied.
“No more trunk for you to climb on” the tree said
“I am too old for that now” the man said
“I really cannot give you anything.
The only thing left is my dying root” The tree said with tears.
“I do not need much now, just a place to rest.
I am tired after all this years” The man replied
“Good. Old tree roots are the best places to lean on and rest
Come, come sit down with me and rest” The tree said
The man sat down and the tree was glad and smiled with tears
This is you, and the tree is your parents
Love your parents
