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",
>
>
>
> 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 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 sat down and the tree was glad and smiled with tears...

>
> This is you and the tree is your parents!!!
