Parents : THE BOY AND THE APPLE TREE
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, and 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 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.
