. A long time ago, there was a huge apple tree
. A little boy loved to come and play around it everyday
. He climbed to the treetop, ate the apples, took a nap under the 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
.Come play with me, the tree asked the boy
.I am no longer a kid, I do not play around trees anymore
.The boy replied
.I want toys. I need money to buy them
....Sorry, but I do not have money
.But u can pick all my apples and sell them
.Then u will get money
.The boy was so excited
.He grabbed all the apples on the tree and left happily
.The boy never came back after he picled the apples
.The tree was sad
.One day, thw boy who now turned into a man returned
.The tree was so excited
"Come and play with me"
Said the tree
I do not have time to play. I have to work for my family
.We need a house for shelter
?Can u help me
...Sorry
I do not have any houses, but u can chop off my branches to build ur house
. So the man cut all the branches of the tree and left happily
.The tree was so glad to c him happy, but the man never come back since then
.The tree was lonely and sad again
.One hot summer day, the man returned and the tree was delighted
."Come and play with me"
.Said the tree
.Iam getting old. I want to go sailing to relax myself
?Can u give me a boat
.Said the man
.Use my trunk to build ur boat
.You can sail far away and be happy
.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 anything for u anymore
....No more apples for u
.Said the tree
.No problem, I do not have any teeth to bite
.The man replied
.No more trunk for u to climb on
.I am too old for that now
.Said the man
.....I really cannot give u anything
.The only thing left in my dying root
.The tree said with tears
.I do not need much now, just a place to rest
.I am 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 sad down and the tree was glad and smiled with tears
This is u and the tree is ur MOM
