1、Once there was a tree,and she loved a little boy.And every daythe boywould come,and he wouldgather her leaves,and make them into crowns,and play king of the forest.He would climb up her trunk,and swing from her branches,and eat apples.And they would playhide-and-go-seek.And when he was tired,he woul
2、d sleep in her shade.ZZZAnd the boy loved the treevery much.And the tree was happy.But time went by.And the boy grew older.And the tree was often alone.Then one day the boycame to the treeand the tree said,“Come,Boy,come andclimb up my trunkand swing frommy branchesand eat apples andplay in my shade
3、and be happy.”“I am too big to climb and play,”said the boy.“I want to buy things and have fun.I want some money.Can you give me some money?”“Im sorry,”said the tree,“but I have no money.I have only leaves and apples.Take my apples,Boy,and sell them in the city.Then you will have money and you will
4、be happy.”And so the boy climbed up the tree,and gathered her apples,and carried them away.And the tree was happy.But the boy stayed away for long time,and the tree was sad.And then one daythe boy came backand the tree shookwith joy and she said,“Come,Boy,climb upmy trunk and swingfrom my branchesan
5、d be happy.”“I am too busy to climb trees,”said the boy.“I want a house to keep me warm,”he said.“I want a wife and I want children,and so I need a house.Can you give me a house?”“I have no house,”said the tree.“The forest is my house,but you may cut off my branchesand build a house.Then you will be
6、 happy.”And so the boy cut off her branchesand carried them away to build his house.And the tree was happy.But the boy stayed away for a long time.And when he came back,the tree was so happy she could hardly speak.“Come,Boy,”she whispered,“come and play.”“I am too old and sad to play,”said the boy.“
7、I want a boat that will take me far away from here.Can you give me a boat?”“Cut down my trunk and makea boat,”said the tree.“Then you can sail awayand be happy.”And so the boy cut down her trunk,and made a boat and sailed away.And the tree was happy,but not really.And after a long time the boy came
8、back again.“I am sorry,Boy,”said the tree,“but I have nothing left to give you,my apples are gone!”“My teeth are too weak for apples,”said the boy.“My branches are gone,”said the tree.“You cannot swing on them”“I am too old to swing on branches,”said the boy.“My trunk is gone,”said the tree.“You can
