Question

yin apple tree

A poor farmer had a friend who was famous because he had a wonderful apple tree.

One day,his friend gave the farmer a young apple tree and told him to plant it. The farmer was happy with the gift,but he did not know where to " plant it.

He was afraid that if he planted the tree near the road,strangers would steal the fruit. If he planted the tree in one of his fields,his neighbours would come at night and steal some of the apples. If he planted the tree near his house,his children would take the fruit. Finally he planted the tree in his wood.

But without sunlight and good soil,the tree soon died.

Later the friend asked the farmer why he planted the tree in such a poor place. “What's the difference?” the farmer said angrily.

“Yes,you wanted to protect the fruit”’ said the friend, “but now no one can enjoy the 什uit,and you destroyed a good apple tree!”
