A long time ago, there was a huge apple tree. A little boy loved to e and lay around it everyday. He climbed to the tree top, ate the apples, took a nap uhe shadow... He loved the tree and the tree loved to play with him. Time went by... 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. "e and play with me," the tree asked the boy. "I am no longer a kid, I dont play around trees anymore." The boy replied,"I want toys. I need moo buy them." "Sorry, but I dont have money...but you pick all my apples ahem. So, you will have money." The boy was so excited. He grabbed all the apples oree a happily. The boy never came back after he picked the apples. The tree was sad.
One day, the boy returned and the tree was so excited. "e and play with me" the tree said. "I dont have time to play. I have to work for my family. We need a house for shelter. you help me?" "Sorry, but I dont have a house. But you chop off my brao build your house." So the boy cut all the branches off the tree a happily.The tree was glad to see him happy but the boy never came back sihen. The tree was again lonely and sad.
O summer day, the boy returned and the tree was delighted. "e and play with me!" the tree said. "I am sad aing old. I want to go sailing to relax myself. yo give me a boat?" "Use my trunk to build your boat. You sail far away and be happy." So the boy cut the tree trunk to make a boat. He went sailing and never showed up for a long time. Finally, the boy returned after he left for so many years. "Sorry, my boy But I dont have anything for you anymore. No more apples for you..." the tree said."I dont have teeth to bite" the boy replied. "No more trunk for you to climb on" "I am too old for that now" the boy said. "I really t give you anything ... the only thi is my dying roots" the tree said with tears. "I dont need muow, just a place to rest. I am tired after all these years." The boy replied. "Good! Old tree roots is the best place to lean on a. e, e sit down with me a." The boy sat down and the tree was glad and smiled with tears.......
