One day, the boy came back to the tree and he looked sad. “Come and play with me,” the tree asked the boy. “I am no longer a kid, I do not play around trees any more,” the boy replied. “I want to have toys. I need money to buy them.” |

“I do not need much now, just a place to rest. I am tired after all these years,” the man replied. “Good! Old tree roots are the best place to rest, sit down with me and rest.” The man sat down and the tree was glad and smiled in tears. |

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, then took a nap under the shadow. The boy loved the tree and the tree loved to play with him. Time went by, the little boy grew up and he no longer played around the tree every day. |

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 house for shelter. Can you help me?” “Sorry, I do not have any house. But you can chop off my branches to build your house.” |

“Come and play with me!” the tree said. “I am getting old. I want to go sailing to relax myself. Can you give me a boat?” said the man. “Use my trunk to build your boat. You can sail far away and be happy.” 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. “Sorry, my boy. But I do not have anything for you anymore," said the tree. |
