A for Apple

A long time ago… there was a huge apple tree..

A little boy loved to play with it....

He loved to climb the tree, loved to eat apples…loved to take a nap under its shadow

Years moved on…

The boy grew up…

And he no longer played around the tree .. .. .. One day the boy returned….

The tree called him.. “Hi.. Come and play with me..”

The boy replied.. “I am not a kid. I don’t play with tree” “I play with toys. I need money to buy toys.”

The tree said… “I don’t have money but you can take all my apples and sell them. You will get
the money.”

The boy picked all the apples of the tree and went away.. He sold the apples and obtained money… he bought lots of toys…

But he didn’t return … .. The tree was again sad… .. ..

One day the boy came, he is a
young man now…….

The tree said… “HI… Why are you sad? Come and sit under my shadow… I am feeling very lonely without you...”

The man (boy) said… “I don’t have time… I work for my family… I want to build a home for them… I need money…”

The tree said.. “I don’t have money… You can take my branches and trunk… and build your home…”

The man (boy) became happy…

He cut all the branches and trunk of the tree…

And built a home for his family….

Again the tree became alone.. .. The man (boy) didn’t return.. … Time moved on ..

After a long while the man (boy) came back.. .. He was so old… looking sad… tired… and lonely..

The tree asked him.. “Why are you sad.. I wish.. I can help you but I don’t have apples.. I don’t have branches…. I don’t even have shadow…

Nothing to offer you…

The old man (boy) replied… “I am tired of my life… I am alone…” I just need you… Can I sit down at your roots.”

The old man (boy) sat down .. Both were happy & weeping …

Is the boy really cruel and selfish?

Most of us are all like him… treating our parents like that….

The tree is like our parents. We love to play with them when we were kids… We leave them alone…and remember them only when…

We are in need or in trouble

We don’t have time for our parents…

No matter what, parents will always give everything….

To make us happy and solve our problems…

And in return what they want is …. just our company!

Please love your parents… Don’t forget about them… Give them Time… Give them your company…

They will be happy by seeing you happy.
