Love your Parents


The Boy & the apple Tree :

A long time ago, there was a huge apple tree. A little boy
loved to come and play around it everyday. He climbed to the
treetop, 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 every day.

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 toys. I
need money to buy them." "Sorry, but I do not have money. But you can
pick all my apples and sell them. So, you will have money." The boy
was so excited. He grabbed all the apples on the tree and left
happily. The boy never came back after he picked the apples. The tree
was sad.
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, but I do not have any house. But
you can chop off my branches to build your house."
So the man cut all the branches of the tree and left happily. The
tree was glad to see him happy but the man never came back. Since
then the tree was again lonely and sad.
One hot summer day, the man returned and the tree was delighted.
"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. No more apples for you," the tree said.
"No problem, I do not have any teeth to bite" the man replied."No
more trunk for you to climb on", "I am too old for that now" the man
said. "I really cannot give you anything... the only thing left is my
dying roots," the tree said with tears. "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 lean on and rest, Come,
come sit down with me and rest." The man sat down and the tree was
glad and smiled with tears.

This is a story of everyone.

The tree is like our parents

When we were young, we loved to play with our Mum and Dad... When we
grow up, we leave them, 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 just to make you happy.

You may think the boy is cruel to the tree, but that is how all of us treat our parents.

We take them for granted we don't appreciate all they do for us, UNTIL it's too late.

Please enlighten all your friends and your families by telling them
this story,

Love your Parents
