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 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…The little boy had grown up and he no longer played around the tree. One day, the boy came back to the tree and looked sad. “Come and play with me,” the tree asked the boy. “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.” “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. The tree was sad.
One day, the boy returned and the tree was so excited. “Come and play with me.” The tree said. “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, but 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. The tree was glad to see him happy but the boy didn’t appear since then. The tree was again lonely and sad.
One hot summer day, the boy returned and the tree was delighted. “Come and play with me!” the tree said. “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 a long time. Finally, the boy returned after he left for so many years. “Sorry, my boy. But I don’t have anything for you anymore. 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…
This is a story of everyone. The tree is our parent. 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.

这是我们大家的故事。树就是我们的家长。当我们年轻的时候,我们喜欢和爸爸妈妈一起玩耍。。。当我们长大后,我们离开了他们,只有在我们需要一些东西时或者我们有麻烦时才会去找他们。 不管怎么样,父母永远都会在那里并且给我们他所能给的所有东西让我们开心。你也许会认为男孩对那棵死刑犯太残酷但是我们又是怎样对我们父母的呢。作者: youxiaxiaolala 时间: 2010-8-20 09:30

This story I read because,I am remenber it is a comic story I saw.

This is a story of everyone. The tree is our parent.
这个故事的主人公翁是每一个人。而那棵树,就是自己的父母。
When we were young, we loved to play with Mom and Dad…
当我们年轻的时候,我们很喜欢跟自己的父亲,母亲玩……
When we grow up, we leave them, and only come to them when we need something or when we are in trouble.
当我们长大成人,我们会离开他们,并且只当我们遇到困难的时候才回家找父母。
No matter what, parents will always be there and give everything they could to make you happy.
无论如何,父母永远是我们所依靠的大树,与任何事情都给予我们快乐。
You may think that the boy is cruel to the tree but that's how all of us are treating our parents.
你可以想到那位小男孩很可爱的样子,但是他又是如何的对待自己的的父母的。
From above story,I am so sad as before when I saw the comic story. Parents gave their children everything, but the children just selffish, got more from their parents, and not thanks.
Parents will feel alone and missing their children, my grandpa is 106 years old now, he is very lucky, because all of us around him,take care of him, he is very happy now,and my grandma is 98 years old.
Good for you parents, or your children will do the same for you when you become older.作者: 快乐小婷 时间: 2010-8-20 14:18

这也是我们每一个人的故事。那棵树是我们的父母。当我们年幼时,我们喜欢和我们的父母玩耍。当我们长大了,我们离开他们,只有当我们需要某些资助或者想入困境的时候,我们才会想起我们的父母。无论如何,我们的父母会永远我们敞开大门,无私奉献,给我们幸福。或许你觉得故事中的男孩对树是残忍的,但是这却是我们所有的人对待我们父母的方式。
Parents are great! We cannot figure out it before we become parents. When we realize it, it is always too late. So now if you know it, just try to do something to make them happy.A Chinese proverb says:"子欲养而亲不待", meaning our parents are alive, we may do our utmost to repay and treat our parents with filial respect. Otherwise, you will regret it when time's gone...作者: 我自潇潇 时间: 2010-8-20 14:36
