Words Of Wisdom

A long time ago there was a huge apple tree. A little boy loved to come and play around it everyday. He climbed to the treetop ate the apple and 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 the trees anymore I want toys i need money to buy them"

Tree : 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 trees and left happily.

The 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"

Man : I do not have time to play I have to work for my family we need a house for shelter can you help me?

Tree : Sorry but I do not have any house but you can chop off my branches to build your house so then man cut all then branches of the tree and left happily.

The tree glad to see him happy but then man never came back since then 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 your 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 I do not have anything for you anymore, no 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 I am too old for that now then 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 then man replied 

Good old tree roots are the best place to lean on and rest come sit down with me and rest the man sat down and the tree was glad and smiled with tears

This is a story of everyone the tree is like our parents when we were young we loved to play with our Mum and Dad when we grow up we leave them only come to them when we need something or in trouble ,no matter what happen parents will always be there and give everything they could just to make you happy.

You may think the boy is cruel to the 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 its too late 

MORAL :  TREAT YOUR PARENTS WITH LOVING CARE FOR YOU WILL KNOW THEIR VALUE WHEN YOU SEE THEIR EMPTY CHAIR WE NEVER KNOW THE LOVE OUR PARENTS FOR US TILL WE HAVE BECOME PARENTS.
