A long time ago, there was a huge tree.
It loved the little boy very much.
The boy loved to come and play around it everyday.
He climbed to the treetop,
Ate the apples,
Take a nap under the shadow,
He loved the tree, the tree was so happy!
Time went by…
One day, the boy came back to the tree.
The tree said “Come and play with me”.
Boy replied “I’m no longer a kid. I don’t play around trees anymore”,
“I want toys. I need money to buy them.”
Tree said “Sorry, but I do not have money… but you can pick all my apples and sell them. So, you will have money.”
The boy was so excited.
He grabbed all the apples on the tree and left happily.
The tree was happy.
The boy never came back after picked the apples.
The tree was sad.
One day, the boy who turned to a man returned and the tree was excited. “Come and play with me” the tree said.
Boy replied “I do not have time to play. I have to work for my family. We need a house for shelter. Can you help me?”
Tree said “Sorry, I do not have any house. But you can chop off my branches to build your house. ”
So the man cut all the branches of the tree and left happily.
The tree was glad to see him happy.
The man never came back since then.
The tree was again lonely and sad.
One hot summer day, the man returned and the tree was delighted. “Come and play with me!” the tree said.
“I’m getting old. I want to go sailing to relax myself. Can you give me a boat?” said the man.
“Use my trunk to build 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. “Sorry my boy. But I do not have you anymore. No more apples for you…” the tree said.
“No problem, I do not have any teeth to bite” the man replied.
“No more trunks for you to climb on” tree said.
“I’m too old for that now” the man replied.
“I really cannot give you anything… the only thing left is my dying roots” the tree said with tears.
“I do not need much now, just a place to rest. I’m tired after all these years” the man replied.
“Good! Old tree roots are the best place to lean on and rest. Come, come sit down with me and rest.”
The man sat down and the tree was glad and smiled with tears…
