THE BOY AND THE APPLE TREE + VID + MP3




THE BOY AND THE APPLE TREE
Long-long ago, there was a large beautiful apple tree and a little boy named Toby who played in it. Everyday Toby would come play with the tree, climbing on branches, eating the wonderful apples, and taking naps in the tree’s cool shade. Both the tree and Toby love each other very much. “I love my apple tree” “I love you my child! Come eat my fruits and rest in my shadow.
Toby enthusiastically picked as many apples as he could, put them in a bag, and left without even saying thank you. The tree waited for Toby to return, but soon became sad. It seemed as if Toby had forgotten his beloved tree.  “so many apples! These will get me enough money to get what I want.”
It was many years before Toby returned to the apple tree. The tree was very happy to see him. “Come and play with me.” Said the tree, but Toby had no time to play for he needed a house for his family. The tree wanted to help his favorite boy and told Toby to chop off its strong branches to build a house. “I can’t play right now, apple tree, I have to build a house for my family.” “Chop off my branches. Surely you can build a house with them.” Without giving it a second thought, Toby cut all the branches off the tree and left to build his house. The tree was glad to help and liked seeing Toby happy.
Once again, Toby did not return for many years. “oh… what an idea! Let me cut all the branches and make a house.” I’m so very glad that I could help you.”
Time passed and Toby began to grow up. He no longer came to the tree everyday, and when he did he was gloomy. The tree invited Toby to play. “I can’t” Toby replied, “I need to get some money to buy the things I want.” The tree felt sorry for Toby and told him to pick the apples from his branches and sell them to get the money he needed. “I need money to buy the things I want”.  “I don’t have money to give, but I do have apples. Maybe you can sell them?”
Then one summer afternoon, Toby returned to the tree. The tree was delighted and asked Toby to play. “I’m too old and tired to play now. I just want to go sailing and relax after all my years of hard work.
The tree could see that Toby was unhappy. “Why not use my trunk to make a boat” The tree suggested. “I’m getting old. I want to retire and go sailing”. “Why not use my trunk and build a boat? Be happy, my boy.
Toby did cut the tree’s trunk to make a boat. He went sailing and relaxed just as he had wanted, but once again, he did not visit the tree who had given him so much. The tree was very lonely. “I can make a splendid boat with this wood, anything for you my boy. I love you.”
The tree was now nothing more than a stump. The years passed swiftly and when Toby came back once again, the tree told him that he had nothing left to give except his dying roots. “I am too old to need anything now except a place to rest” Toby said. The tree smiled and asked him to sit with him and take the rest he needed. Toby sat, and the tree was blissful once again. “I don’t need anything from you, Apple tree. I just need to rest”. “Take your rest with me, my boy. I love you still”.
