Boy and Tree

A long time ago, there was a huge apple tree. A little boy loved to come and play around it every day... 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 looked sad."Come and play with me,"the tree asked the boy.
"I am no longer a kid, I don't play around trees anymore." The boy replied,"Iwant 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.
The tree was glad to see him happy but the boy didn't appear since then. The tree was again lonely and sad. One hot summer day, the boy returned and the tree was delighted."Come and play with me!"the tree said.
"I"m sad and getting old. I want to go sailing to relax myself. Can you give me a boat?""Use my trunk to build the boat. You ca 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 anymore. 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'm too old for that now." the boy said. "I really want to give you something...the only thing left is my dying roots." the tree 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 and rest. Come here, please sit down with me and have a rest." The boy sat down and the tree was gald and smiled with tears...
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 troule. 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...
                                                                                                                  -End.

Ok, here I finished and hope you enjoy it. I would also take this opportunity to tell you that I really wanna be a friend with you here to have a real communication.

Hi, Dreamer,

Pleased to know you here !
Very much appreciated for your affecting story. I am really touched.
As Korean proverb says you are a filial son if you are able to remember your parents just one time, while your parents miss you ten times.
The love of parents is selfless love. Our parents will be happy even because of your
simple greetings via telephone. Let's make it !
Thanks again, you story reminds me think about a lot.
Look forward to your more valuable story !
