Once there was a tree, and she loved a little boy…He climbs up her trunk … Swings from her branches … Eats her apples … Sleeps in her shade … And the boy loved the tree …. But time went by … And the boy grew older.
… the tree asked the boy to come play ... The boy said “I am too big to play … But can you give me some money?” … The tree said “Take my apples, Boy and sell them in the city … then you will have money and be happy” … and the tree was happy … The Boy stayed away for a long time and the tree was sad … The boy came back and said “Can you give me a house?” … The tree said “You may cut off my branches and build a house … Then you will be happy” … and the tree was happy.
The Boy stayed away for a long time … The boy came back and said “I am too old and sad to play. I want a boat that will take me far away from here.” … The tree said “Cut down my trunk and make a boat.” And so the boy cut down her trunk and sailed away … and the tree was happy. And after a long time the boy came back again … “I don’t need much now” said the boy, “just a quiet place to sit and rest.” The tree said “Come, Boy sit down and rest.” And the boy did … and the tree was happy. THE ENDShare
