The boy and the apple tree

A long time ago, there was a huge apple tree. A little boy loved to come and play around it every

day. He climbed to the treetop, 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 grown up and he no

longer played around the tree every day.

One day, the boy came back to the tree and he looked sad. “Come and play with me” the tree

asked the boy. "I am no longer a kid, I do not play around trees anymore” the boy replied. “I

want toys. I need money to buy them.” “Sorry, but I do not have money… but you can pick all

my apples and sell them. So, you will have money.” The boy was so excited. He grabbed all the

apples on the tree and left happily. The boy never came back after he picked the apples. The tree

was sad.

One day, the boy who now turned into a man returned and the tree was excited “Come and play

with me” the tree said. “I do not have time to play. I have to work for my family. We need a

house for shelter. Can you help me?” “Sorry, but I do not have any house. But you can chop off

my branches to build your house.” So the man cut all the branches of the tree and left happily.

The tree was glad to see him happy but the man never came back since then. The tree was again

lonely and sad.

One hot summer day, the man returned and the tree was delighted. “Come and play with me!”

the tree said. “I am getting old. I want to go sailing to relax myself. Can you give me a boat?”

said the man. “Use my trunk to build your boat. You can sail far away and be happy.” So the

man cut the tree trunk to make a boat. He went sailing and never showed up for a long time.

Finally, the man returned after many years. “Sorry, my boy. But I do not have anything for you

anymore. No more apples for you” the tree said. “No problem, I do not have any teeth to bite”

the man replied. “No more trunk for you to climb on” the tree said. “I am too old for that now”

the man said. “I really cannot give you anything... the only thing left is my dying roots” the tree

said with tears. “I do not need much now, just a place to rest. I am tired after all these years” the

man replied. “Good! Old tree roots are the best place to lean on and rest, come, come sit down

with me and rest.” The man sat down and the tree was glad and smiled with tears…

At The End of the story

By video

Teacher: Now class, look at the screen on the board, in order to understand the main theme of

“the boy and the apple tree” story, we‟ll watch a short clip about this story. (Playing a short clip)

Theme of the story

The tree in the story represents our parents. When we are young, we love

to play with them. When we grow up, we leave them and only come back

when we need help. No matter what, parents will always be there and

give everything they could just to make you happy. You may think the boy

is cruel to the tree, but that is how all of us treat our parents. We take

them for granted we don’t appreciate all they do for us until it’s too late.
