中英文对照故事-苹果树

A long time ago, there was a huge apple tree . A little boy loved to come and lay around it every day. He climbed to the tree top, ate the apples, took a nap under the shadow.... He loved the tree and the tree loved to play with him.

Time went by ... the little boy had grow up and he no longer played around the tree every day. One day,the boy come back to the tree and looked sad. "Come and play with me, " the tree asked the boy . "I am no longer a kid , I don't play around tree anymore."The boy replied,"I want toys. I need money to buy them.""Sorry but I don't have money ...but you can pick all my apple and sell them. So, you will have money ."The boy was so excited. He grabbed all the apple on the tree and left happily. The boy never come back after he picked the apple. The tree was sad.

One day, the boy returned and the tree was so excited. "Come and play with me ,"the tree said."I don't have time to play. I have to work for my family . We need a house for shelter. Can you help me ?""Sorry, but I don't have a house. But you can chop off my branches to build your house." So the boy cut all the branches off the tree and left happily. The tree was glad to see him happy but the boy never come back since then. The tree was again lonely and sad.

One hot summer day, the boy returned and the tree was delighted."Come and play with me!" the tree said."I am sad getting old. I want to go sailing to relax myself . Can you give me a boat? ""Use my trunk to build your boat. You can sail far away and be happy ."So the boy cut the tree trunk to make a boat. He want sailing and never showed up for a long time. The tree was happy, but it was not true.

Finally, the boy returned after he left for so many years. "Sorry my boy, But I don't have anything for you anymore. No more apples for you ...."the tree said.

"I don't have teeth to bite,"the boy replied.

"No more trunk for you to limb on."

"I am too old for that now,"the boy said.

"I really can't give you anything .....the only thing left is my dying roots,"the tree said with tears.

"I don't need much now, just a place to rest. I am tired after all these years."The boy replied.

Good ! Old tree roots is the best place to lean on and rest. Come,Come sit down with me and rest."The boy sit down and the tree was smiled with tree....

This is a story of everyone. The tree is our parent. When we young, we loved to play with Mom and Dad...When we grow up, we left them, and only come to them when we need something or when we are in trouble. No matter what, parents will always be there and give everything they could to make you happy. You may think that the boy is cruel to the tree but that's how all of us are treating our parents.
