A boy and a tree - a children story

in #life7 years ago

I once read a story about a boy and an apple tree. This story was about the friendship of the boy with the tree. I will write the story as far as i remember and it goes something like this....

Once there was a boy who always want to play under the apple tree. When the boy gets tired the apple tree will talk to him and says:

Tree: pick some apples in my head and eat. You will then have a full stomach and your tiredness will go away.
Then the boy will pick the apple and eat it. And smiled then leave the tree after he gets satisfied. Meanwhile,after seeing that the boy smiled,the tree also became happy.

One day,the boy return to the tree again. And the tree says:
Tree: hi! Come,let's play again
Boy: i dont want to play now. I want to have a toy and robots to play with
Tree: i donnot have money to give uou so you can buy a toy or a robot,but you can get all my fruits and sell it
So the boy picked all the fruits and sell it. Then carry it all along and smiled. The tree is happy because it saw the boy smiled again.
One day,the boy visited the tree again and he is so sad.
Tree: come,let's play again
Boy: i have now a family and we do not have a money to buy a house for pur shelter
Tree: i do not have money but you can cut my branches and make it your house
So the man cut the branches and soon built it for a house. The tree was happy because his friend smiled again. He waited for years for his friend to come back. Then one day:
Tree: hi. Come lets play again
Boy: i dont want to play. I need a money to buy a boat. I want to sail.
Tree: i do not have money but you can cut my trunk and make it a boat.
Then the boy cut it and smiled. Again,tree is happy.

After few years,the boy came back again to the tree. The boy is now a very old man with a weak body.

Tree: how are you my friend?
Boy: i am tired and want to rest.
Tree: i know that the roots of the tree is the best place to have a rest. Come,rest on my roots instead
Then the man sit on the roots of the tree and find his rest. The tree while crying is happy because he still can serve his friend despite of not having a fruits,leavea,branches and trunk to give.

Morale of the story:
The tree is like our parents,when we are young we aimply ihnored their presence and importance to our lives. But they are still there for us ready to help us and offer their lives to us in order to make us happy. So we must love and respect our parents always.
