The apple tree and a boy!
Very long ago, there lived a huge apple tree offering tasty apples to the people. A little boy became close friend to the apple tree. The boy used to play with the tree, climb the branches, sleep under the shadow, pluck apples, etc.
Every day he visited the tree, and ate apples. The apple tree was so kind to the boy and enjoyed spending time with the little boy.
The boy joined school and could not spend any time with the apple tree. After several months the boy came to the apple tree. The tree was so happy to see the boy and asked him to play with it.
The boy said that he was not a little one to play with the trees. But he had another request to the tree.
The tree asked what he wanted. The boy said that he needed toys to play, but his parents did not have sufficient money to buy toys for him.
The tree replied, ‘Dear boy, I do not have any money to buy toys for you, but you can pick the apples, sell them, get money and buy the toys you need.’
The apple tree was eagerly waiting to see the boy return. The boy went happily after plucking apples, but never returned for several years.
The tree was so sad and it did not produce any apples thereafter.
