苹果树

很久以前有一棵巨大的(huge)苹果树(apple tree)。一个小男孩每天都喜欢来到树旁玩耍。他爬(climb)到树顶、吃苹果、在树下玩……他爱这棵树，树也爱和他一起玩。

随着时间的流逝，小男孩长大了(grow up)。他不再到树旁玩耍了。

一天，男孩回到树旁，他看起来很悲伤。“来和我玩吧！”树说。

“我不再是个小孩(kid)，我不会再到树下玩耍了．”男孩答道，“我想要玩具(toy)，我需要(need)钱来买。”

“很遗憾，我没有钱。但是你可以摘(pick)我所有的苹果拿去卖。这样你就有钱了。”男孩很兴奋(excited)。他摘掉树上所有的苹果，然后高兴地离开了。摘过苹果以后，男孩没再回来(come back)。树很伤心。

一天，男孩回来(return)了，树非常兴奋，“来和我玩吧”，树说。“我没有时间玩．我不得不(have to)为我的家庭工作。我们需要一个房子，你能帮我吗？”“很遗憾，我没有房子。但是，你可以砍下(cut off)我的树枝来建房。”因此，男孩砍下所有的树枝，高高兴兴地离开了。

看到他充满欢乐(full of joy)，树也很高兴(glad)。但是，自从(since)那时起，男孩没再出现(appear)，树很孤独(lonely)很悲伤。

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(introuble)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(makeyou 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？
