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 every day.
One day, the boy came back to the tree and he looked sad . "Come and
play with me" the tree asked the boy. "I am no longer a kid, I do not
play around trees any more" the boy replied.
"I want toys. I need money to buy them." "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 boy never came back after he picked 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 house for shelter. Can
you help me ? " " Sorry, but 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 but
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 am 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." 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 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 trunk for you to climb on" "I am too old for that
now" the man said. "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 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 sat down and the
tree was glad and smiled with tears...
This is a story of everyone.
The tree is like our parents
When we were young, we loved to play with our Mum and Dad...
When we grow up, we leave them...only come to them when we need
something or when we are in trouble.No matter what,parents will always be there and
give everything they could just to make you happy.
You may think the boy is cruel to the tree, but that is how all of us
treat our parents. We take them for granted we don't appreciate all they do for us, UNTIL
it's too late. May Allah forgive us of our shortcomings and may He Guide us,
Insha'allah Ameen.
