Question

There was a boy called Jack. He loved to play with a big apple tree. But when he grew up, he didn’t play around the tree any more.

One day, the boy came back to the tree and said, “I need a house. Can you help me?”

“You can cut off my branches (樹枝) to build a house.”

Then the boy cut off all the branches of the tree ans left happily. The tree was sad.

Some years later, the boy came back again and said sadly, “I want to go sailing. But I don’t have a boat. ”

“Oh, my dear. You can use my trunk(樹干) to make a boat.”

So the boy made a boat with the trunk and left happily without a word of thanks to the trees.
