当我们年幼的时候，我们喜欢跟爸爸妈妈一起玩。等我们长大了，我们就离开父母。只有当我们有需要或者遇到麻烦的时候才回到他们身边。无论怎样，父母都一直在那里，尽一切所能提供我们所需要的一切，只为我们快乐。

爱你的爸爸妈妈吧，从这一刻开始。

) j7 ?" y* b8 B- b. Y, m" [0 vA long time ago, there was a big 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 looks sad. “Come and play with me,” the tree asked the boy.

( ?9 D9 s+ a. [5 n“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.

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 trees 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 the 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 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.

故事不残忍，苹果树与男孩的故事就是父母与我们的故事，情节一样，只有等父母老了自己做了父母才会去明白。
