A long time ago, there was a huge apple tree. A little boy loved to come and play around it every day. He climbed to the treetop, ate the apples, took a nap under the shadow... He loved the tree and the tree loved to play with him.

很久以前，有一株高大繁茂的苹果树。一个小男孩每天都喜欢到树下玩耍。他爬上树梢，美美地摘下树上的苹果吃，吃完了就在树荫里打吨儿…他爱树，树也爱和他玩耍。

Time went by...The little boy had grown up and he no longer played around the tree.

日子一天天过去…小男孩长大了，很久不再来和树玩耍。

One day, the boy came back to the tree and looked sad."Come and play with me,”the tree asked the boy.

一天，小男孩来到树旁，他看起来很不开心。“和我玩吧。”树说。

"I am no longer a kid;I don't play around trees anymore,” the boy replied, "I want toys. I need money to buy them."

“我不再是小孩子了，不会再和你玩了。”男孩答道，“我想要玩具。我需要钱来买。”

"Sorry, but I don't have money...but you can pick all my

apples and sell them. So, you will have money." The boy was so excited. He picked all the apples on the tree and left happily. The boy didn't come back after he picked the apples.

“对不起，我没有钱……但是你可以把我的苹果都摘下来拿去卖掉。这样，你就有钱了。”男孩很兴奋，他摘下所有的苹果，高高兴兴地走了。从那以后很久没有回来。

The tree was sad.

树很伤心。

One day, the boy returned and the tree was so excited."Come and play with me,”the tree said.

一天，男孩回来了，树好高兴。“来和我玩吧。”树说。

"I don't have time to play. I have to work for my family. We need a house for shelter. Can you help me?" "Sorry, I don't have a house. But you can cut off my branches to build your house."So the boy cut all the branches of the tree and left happily.

“我没有时间，我得干活养家，我们需要一所房子遮蔽风雨，你能帮我吗?”“对不起，我没有房子。但是你可以砍下我的树枝去建一所房子。”于是，男孩砍下所有的树枝，高高兴兴地走了。

The tree was glad to see him happy but the boy didn't appear since then. The tree was again lonely and sad.

看到男孩开心，树也好开心，但是从那时起男孩很久没再来过。树又变得孤独、伤心起来。

One hot summer day, the boy returned and the tree was delighted. "Come and play with me!”the tree said.

盛夏的一天，男孩回来了，树好高兴。“来和我玩吧!”树说。“我不快乐，我开始老了，我想去航海放松自己，你能给我一条船吗?”“用我的树干造一条船吧，你就能航海了，你会快乐的。”于是，男孩锯下所有的树干做成一条船。他航海去了，之后很久没有出现。

"I am sad and getting old. I want to go sailing to relax myself.Can you give me a boat?" "Use my trunk to build the boat. You can sail and be happy." So the boy cut the tree trunk to make a boat. He went sailing and did not show up for along time.

许多年过去了，男孩终于回来了。“对不起，我的孩子。我再也没有任何东西可以给你了，我没有苹果了。”树说。“我也没有牙齿咬了。”男孩答道。“我没有树枝让你爬了。”“我也太老了，爬不动了。”男孩说。“我真想为你做些什么，可我只剩下快要死去的树桩了。”树含着泪说。“现在我什么也不需要了，只想有一个休息的地方就好。经过这么多年，我累了。”男孩答道。“太好了!老树桩就是倚着休息最好的地方。来吧，快坐到我身上来休息吧。”于是，男孩坐下来，树好高兴，它笑了，脸上挂着泪……

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 trunk for you to climb on." "I am too old for that now,”the boy said. "I really want to give you something... 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 here, please sit down with me and have a rest." The boy sat down and the tree was glad and smiled with tears...

这是我们每个人的故事。树就是我们的父母。小时候，我们喜欢和爸爸妈妈一起玩耍……长大后，便离开他们，只在我们有需要或遇到困难时才会想到他们。尽管如此，为了使我们幸福，父母总会守候着我们，心甘情愿地付出一切。你也许觉得那个男孩太残忍，但是我们不就在那样对待我们的父母吗?

This is a story of everyone. The tree is our parents. When we were young，we loved to play with Mom and Dad... When we grow up, we leave them, and 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 to make you happy. You may think that the boy is cruel to the tree but that's how all of us are treating our parents.
