15.The Apple Tree (2)

One hot summer day, the boy returned and the tree was very happy.“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(树干) 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 any more No more apples for you.”the tree said.“I don’t have teeth to eat.”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(根).”The tree said.“I don't need much now, just a place to rest. I am tired after all these years.”The boy replied.“Good! Come here, please sit down with me and have a rest,”The boy sat down and the tree smiled .

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. Whatever, 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(对待)our parents.

15．苹果树(2)

在一个炎热的(hot)夏日，男孩回到树旁，树很高兴．“来和我玩吧！”树说。

“我很伤心，我开始变老了。我想去航海(go sailing)放松(relax)自己．你能不能给我一条船？”“用我的树干去造一条船，你就能航海了，你会高兴的。”于是，男孩砍下树干去造(make)船。他航海去了，很长一段时间未露面(show up)。

许多年后男孩终于回来了．“很遗憾，我的孩子，我再也没有任何东西(anything)可以给你了。没有苹果给你”树说。“我没有牙齿(teeth)吃了。”男孩答道。“没有树干供你爬。”“现在我老了，爬不上去了。”男孩说．“我真的想把一切都给你……我唯一剩下的东西是快要死去的(dying)树墩。”树说。男孩答道。“现在，我不需要什么东西，只需要一个地方(place)来休息(rest)．经过了这些年我累了(tired)。

”“太好了！过来，和我一起坐下休息(have a rest)吧。”男孩坐下了，树笑了…...。

这是发生在每一个人身上的故事(story)。那棵树就像我们的父母(parent)．我们小的时候，喜欢和爸爸妈妈玩。长大后，便离开他们，只有在我们需要父母，或是遇到了困难(in trouble)的时候，才回去找他们．无论什么，父母却总是有求必应，为了让你幸福(make you happy)，付出他们所有的一切(everything)。你也许觉得那个男孩对树残忍(cruel)，但我们何尝不是这样对待自己的父母昵？
