Greatest Love Stories
The Apple Tree
A long time ago, there was a huge apple tree. A little
boy loved to come and play around it every day. He loved
the tree top, 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 asked
the boy. I am no longer a kid, I don't ' play around trees
anymore." The boy replied, "I want toys. I need
money to buy them." "Sorry, but I don't have money.....but
you can pick my apples and sell them. Then 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 returned and the tree
was so excited. "Come and play with me" the tree
said. I don't have time to play. I have to work for my family.
We need a house for shelter. Can you help me? "Sorry
but I don't have a house. But you can chop off my branches
to build your house." So the boy cut all the branches
off the tree and left happily. The tree was glad to see
him happy but the boy never came back since then.
The tree was lonely and sad. One hot summer day, the boy
returned and the tree was so delighted. "Come and play
with me!" the tree said. "I am so sad and getting
old. I want to go sailing to relax myself. Can you give
me a boat? " "Use my trunk to build your boat.
You can 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 very long long time.
Finally, the boy returned after he left for so many years.
"Sorry, my boy, but I don't have anything for you anymore.
No more apples for yo u...." the tree said". "I
don't 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 can't give you anything.....the
only thing left is my dying roots" the tree said with
tears. "I don't need much now, 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 and
rest on." "Come, come sit down with me and rest
" The boy sat down and the tree was glad and smiled
with tears......
This is a story for everyone. The tree is our parents.
When we were young, we loved to play with Mom and Dad...When
we grew up, we left 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 can to make
you happy. You may think the boy is cruel to the tree but
that is how all of us are treating our parents.
Love your parents, no matter where they are.
