Question

Once there was an apple tree which a little boy always played around. When the little boy grew up, he no longer played around the tree.

One day the tree said, “Come and play with me.” The boy answered, “I need money.” “Sorry, you can sell the apples for some money.” The boy did that and left happily.

After a few years, the boy came back. The tree said, “Come and play with me.” The boy said, “I don’t have time. I need a house.” “You can cut off my branches (樹枝) and trunk (樹干) for a house,” answered the tree. The boy did so.

Twenty years later, the boy came back again. “My boy, the only thing left is my dying roots (根),” said the tree. “I don’t need much now, just a place to rest. I am too tired,” answered the boy. The tree then smiled with tears.
