The Boy And The Apple Tree (continued)

"Use my truck 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 long time.

Finally, the boy returned after he left for so many years. "Sorry, my boy. But I don't have anything for you any more. "No more apples for you," the tree said.

"I don't have teeth to bite" the boy replied.

"No more truck 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 are the best place to lean on and rest. 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 of everyone. The tree is our parent. When we were young, we loved to play with Mom and Dad. When we grown up, we left them, and only came to them when we needed something or when we were 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's how all of us are treating our parents.

Love your parents. And appreciate them before they are gone.
