I am too big to climb and play,” said the boy. I want to buy things and have fun. I want some money. I am sorry said the tree,” but I have no money have only leaves and apples. Take my apples and sell them in the city. Then you will have money and you will be happy”. And so the boy climbs the tree and gathered her apples and carried them away. And the tree was a happy. But the boy stayed for a long time….and the tree was sad. and then one day, the boy came back and the boy shook with joy and he said,” come, boy, climb up my trunk and swing from my branches and be happy.” I am too busy to climb trees said the boy.” I want a house to keep me warm’’, he said. I want a wife and I want children, and 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 may cut of my branches and build a house. Then you will be happy’. And so the boy cut of her branches and carried them away to build his house. And the tree was happy. But the boy stayed away for a long time. And when he comes
Back, the tree was so happy she could hardly speak.” Come, boy, she whispered,” come and play. I am too old and sad to play, said the boy. I want a boat that will take me far away from here. Can you give me a boat? Cut down my trunk and make a boat said he tree. Then you can sail away…..and be happy. And so the boy cut down her trunk and made a boat and sailed away. And the tree was happy….but not really. And after a long time the boy came back again.” I am sorry boy, said the tree,” but I have nothing left to give you.

I am too old to swing on branches” said the boy.” my trunk is gone said the tree.” you cannot climb said the tree.” I am tired to climb said the boy,” I am sorry said the tree”, I wish I could give you something….but I have nothing left. I am just an old stump. I am sorry…..” I don’t need a very few much now, said the boy,” just a quiet place to sit and rest. I am very tired.” Well, said the tree, straightening her as much as she could. Well, an old stump is good for sitting and resting. Come, boy sit down. Sit down and rest”. And the boy did.
