A long time ago, there was a huge apple tree. A little boy loved to come and lay around it every day. He climbed to the tree top, ate the apples, took a nap under the shadow... He loved the tree and the tree loved to play with him.
很久很久以前，有一棵又高又大的蘋(píng)果樹(shù)。一位小男孩，天天到樹(shù)下來(lái)，他爬上去摘蘋(píng)果吃，在樹(shù)蔭下睡覺(jué)。他愛(ài)蘋(píng)果樹(shù)，蘋(píng)果樹(shù)也愛(ài)和他一起玩耍。

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.
后來(lái)，小男孩長(zhǎng)大了，不再天天來(lái)玩耍。一天他又來(lái)到樹(shù)下，很傷心的樣子。

“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, “I want toys. I need money to buy them.”
蘋(píng)果樹(shù)要和他一起玩，男孩說(shuō)：“不行，我不小了，不能再和你玩，我要玩具，可是沒(méi)錢(qián)買(mǎi)?！?br />
“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 grabbed all the apples on the tree and left happily. The boy never came back after he picked the apples. The tree was sad.
蘋(píng)果樹(shù)說(shuō)：“很遺憾，我也沒(méi)錢(qián)，不過(guò)，把我所有的果子摘下來(lái)賣(mài)掉，你不就有錢(qián)了？”男孩十分激動(dòng)，他摘下所有的蘋(píng)果，高高興興地走了。然后，男孩好久都沒(méi)有來(lái)。蘋(píng)果樹(shù)很傷心。

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 chop off my branches to build your house.”
有一天，男孩終于來(lái)了，樹(shù)興奮地邀他一起玩。男孩說(shuō)：“不行，我沒(méi)有時(shí)間，我要替家里干活呢，我們需要一幢房子，你能幫忙嗎？”“我沒(méi)有房子，”蘋(píng)果樹(shù)說(shuō)，“不過(guò)你可以把我的樹(shù)枝統(tǒng)統(tǒng)砍下來(lái)，拿去搭房子。”

So the boy cut all the branches off the tree and left happily. The tree was glad to see him happy but the boy never came back since then. The tree was again lonely and sad.
于是男孩砍下所有的樹(shù)枝，高高興興地運(yùn)走去蓋房子?？吹侥泻⒏吲d樹(shù)好快樂(lè)。從此，男孩又不來(lái)了。樹(shù)再次陷入孤單和悲傷之中。

One hot summer day, the boy returned and the tree was delighted. “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 to build your boat. You can sail far away and be happy.” So the boy cut the tree trunk to make a boat. He went sailing and never showed up for a long time. The tree was happy, but it was not true.
一年夏天，男孩回來(lái)了，樹(shù)太快樂(lè)了：“來(lái)呀！孩子，來(lái)和我玩呀。”男孩卻說(shuō)：“我心情不好，一天天老了，我要揚(yáng)帆出海，輕松一下，你能給我一艘船嗎？”蘋(píng)果樹(shù)說(shuō)：“把我的樹(shù)干砍去，拿去做船吧！”于是男孩砍下了她的樹(shù)干，造了條船，然后駕船走了，很久都沒(méi)有回來(lái)。樹(shù)好快樂(lè)……但不是真的。

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.
許多年過(guò)去，男孩終于回來(lái)，蘋(píng)果樹(shù)說(shuō)：“對(duì)不起，孩子，我已經(jīng)沒(méi)有東西可以給你了，我的蘋(píng)果沒(méi)了?！?br />

“I don’t have teeth to bite,” the boy replied.
男孩說(shuō)：“我的牙都掉了，吃不了蘋(píng)果了。”

“No more trunk for you to climb on.”
蘋(píng)果樹(shù)又說(shuō)：“我再?zèng)]有樹(shù)干，讓你爬上來(lái)了。”

“I am too old for that now,” the boy said.
男孩說(shuō)：“我太老了，爬不動(dòng)了?！?br />“I really can’t give you anything... the only thing left is my dying roots,” the tree said with tears.
“我再也沒(méi)有什么給得出手了……，只剩下枯死下去的老根，”樹(shù)流著淚說(shuō)。

“I don’t need much now, just a place to rest. I am tired after all these years.” The boy replied.
男孩說(shuō)：“這么多年過(guò)去了，現(xiàn)在我感到累了，什么也不想要，只要一個(gè)休息的地方。”

“Good! Old tree roots is the best place to lean on and rest. Come, Come sit down with me and rest.” The boy sat down and the tree was glad and smiled with tears...
“好??！老根是最適合坐下來(lái)休息的，來(lái)啊，坐下來(lái)和我一起休息吧！”男孩坐下來(lái)，蘋(píng)果樹(shù)高興得流下了眼淚……

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 grown up, we left them, and only came to them when we need something or when we are in trouble.
這就是我們每個(gè)人的故事。這顆樹(shù)就是我們的父母。小時(shí)候，我們喜歡和爸爸媽媽玩……長(zhǎng)大后，我們就離開(kāi)他們，只在需要什么東西或者遇到麻煩的時(shí)候，才回到他們身邊。

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.
無(wú)論如何，父母永遠(yuǎn)都在那兒，傾其所有使你快樂(lè)。你可能認(rèn)為這個(gè)男孩對(duì)樹(shù)很殘酷，但這就是我們每個(gè)人對(duì)待父母的方式。
