Once there was a tree. Every day a little boy came to pick up its leaves. He played the king of the forest. He climbed up the tree and swang. He also loved eating its apples. The boy and the tree loved playing together. Very often he sat under the tree. He loved the tree very much. The tree was very happy.
The time passed. The little boy grew older. He didn’t come to the tree every day. The tree was often alone. Then one day the boy came.
The tree said, “Come, boy, climb up and swing. Eat my apples, play and be happy.”
“I am too old to climb and play,” said the boy. “I want to buy things and have fun. I need money. Can you give me money?”
“I’m sorry,” said the tree. “I have no money. I have only leaves and apples. Take my apples and sell them. Then you will have money and you will be happy.”
So, the boy gathered the apples. He took them and left the tree. The tree was happy.
The boy didn’t come for a long time and the tree was sad. Then one day the boy came back. The tree was very happy and said, “Come, boy, climb up and swing.”
“I am very busy. I cannot climb trees now,” said the boy. “I want a house to keep me warm. I want to have a family, 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 can cut my branches and build a house. Then you will be happy.”
So, the boy cut the branches of the tree and took them. The tree was happy. The tree didn’t see the boy for a very long time.
One day the boy came back and the tree was very happy and said quietly, “Come, boy, climb up and swing.”
“I am too sad and old to play,” said the boy. “I want a boat to take me far away. Can you give me a boat?”
“Cut my branches off and make a boat,“ said the tree. “Then you can sail away and be happy.”
So, the boy cut the tree, made a boat and sailed away. The tree was not as happy as it was before.
After a long time, the boy came back again.
“I am sorry, boy,” said the tree. “I don’t have anything to give you.”
“I am too tired,” said the boy. “I don’t need anything now. I need a quiet place to sit and rest.”
“Well, you can sit on me and rest,” said the tree.
So, the boy sat on the old tree and the tree was happy.
