Wisdom Story

A long time ago

There was a hug apple tree

A little boy loved to come

And play aroud it everyday

He climb to 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, and 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 and play with me” the tree asked the boy

The boy replied “I am no longer a kid.

I do not play around the trees anymore”

“I want toys. I need money to buy them”

“Sorry. I don’t have money.

But you can pick all my apples, and sell them.

So, you will have money” said the tree

The boy was so excited.

He grabbed all the apples on the tree

and left happily.

The boy never came back after he pick 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 hose for shelter. Can you help me?”

“Sorry, I do not have any house

But you can chop off my branches

To build your house” the tree said

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.

The man came again

Come and play with me” The tree said

“I am getting old. I want to go sailing to relax my self.

Can you give me a boat?”Said the man

“Use my trunk to make your boat.

You can sail far away and be happy” The tree said

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

“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” the tree said

“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 this years” The man replied

“Good. Old tree roots are the best places to lean on and rest

Come, come sit down with me and rest” The tree said

The man sat down and the tree was glad and smiled with tears

This is you, and the tree is your parents

Love your parents
