Come and play with me," the tree asked the boy.
I am no longer a kid, I do not play around trees any more," 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." Tree said
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?" The man said
"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 he 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." Tree said
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. "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." Tree said
The man sat down and the tree was glad and smiled with tears. This is a story of everyone.
LESSON FROM THE STORY
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 when we are in trouble. 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. May Allah forgive all of us for our shortcomings and may He Guide us, Ameen Ya Rab.
Your Lord has decreed that you worship none but Him. And that you be dutiful to your parents. If one of them or both of them attain old age in your life, say not to them a word of disrespect, nor shout at them but address them in terms of honour. And lower unto them the wing of submission and humility through mercy, and say: "My Lord! Bestow on them Your Mercy as they did bring me up when I was small." ~ Holy Qur'an, Al-Isra 23-24

25 Responses to "The Boy and the Apple Tree (Tuesday 24-07-2007)"There was a boy and a tree. The boy loved to play with th tree. Then one day the boy came to the tree and the tree asked him to play but the boy was to old and said he needed money to buy toys. The tree said I don't have any money but I do have some apples you can pick them and sell them. The boy happily too the apples and never came back for years. Then when he came back the tree asked him to play but the boy said said no my family need a shelter. The tree said I do not have a house but here take my branches and build a house. The boy took the trees and happily left and came back for years.Next the boy who is now a man came and the tree asked him to play but he said I am old but do you have a boat.The tree said I do not have a boat but you can take my trunk. The man left and came back after a lot of years and the tree said I have nothing for you. The man told him it was kay and the tree said I only have my dyig limbs. The lesson from this is that we are the boy and our parents are the tree we liked to play with our parents when we were young but when we get older we keep on asking for something.
there was a boy that playd aroude a apple tree one day the boy got he came back to the tree.the next story is when your parents get old you tack care of them.
I have learned that friends are important in life. When we need help, our friends are always there for us. Even when we get old, we should welcome them. You'll never know, it might be the last time you see them. So you should still have fun and remember the fun times you had with them.
what i learned about this story is the tree is like your mum and dad when you are just a kid you love to play with your mom and dad but when you are older you will stop play whith you dad and mum just like the boy didi to the tree.tree gave him apples to sell and his tree branes to make a house and his trunk for his boat. it is like your mum and dad they will give you anything to make you happy so you should be thankful to your mum and dad to gve you food and to give you shelter and cloth so you should be happy to have a mom and dad.

the man took the trees branes to meke a shelter then he took the tree trunk to make a boat

Once long ago stood a healthy apple tree and every day that healthy apple tree was visited by a young boy who loved all the things that he could get from the apple tree he could get shade from the tree he could also get delicious apples which would refresh him from the tree and it was a wonderful place to climb. till one day the boy became older and he didn't come for a long time the tree became very sad and oneday the boy returned the tree was very excited "come and play with me the tree said" "I don't want to play I want toys " sothe tree gave the boys apples to sell the boy left happy and didn't come back for along time the next time the boy came the tree asked the same question and recieved the same answer this time the boy needed shelter for his family so the tree gave him wood to build his house the man left happy and didn't return he came back the same things happened except this time the boy wanted to build a sailboat to relax on. the tree gave him what he needed. in the end the boy came back to the tree as an old man this story tells us that we get everything we need from our parents and we often think more of what we want from our parentsthan what they need from us.
In the story this boy liked a little apple tree and played aound it everyday, he napped on the top of the tree. The boy grew up and went to the tree after a long long time. Then he asked for money, and the tree replyed that he could take his apples so some people could buy his apples and then he could make money. The boy asked the man for a buliding or house and he said you could take my wood to make a house. He took it and made a house and didnt come back for a very long time, and the tree was sad. And the tree said thatit had nothing esle for him but the boy had just wanted wanted a nap, and the tree was very happy.
there was boy and a tree the boy loved that tree and playing with it and left.the next time he came the tree told him to play with me he said no i am 2 old now i need money for toys and the tree said take my apples selled them and you will have money ,then the boy left.the boy came back as a man and the tree said play with me but the man said i cant play i hafto to work for my family and give them a shelter but the tree said i do not have a home but i have branches use them to built a house then the man took the branches and left. the man came back ,the tree asked him if he could play with him but the man said i am to old i need a boot ,the tree said i do not have a boot but i have a trunk use it to make your boot then the man left.Many years later the man came back the tree said i have nothing for you and you cannot take my apples i have nothing, the man said it is okay i am so old thAT I HAVE NO TEETH to bite on the apples i just need a resting place and the tree said my dead limb are the best resting place.
the whole point is that that tree is just like our parents we alwese want more from them and we are wrong for thinking that we could take advantage of them we shouldent take from them we should give them and not take .
Once there was a big apple tree and a little boy. The little boy always play around the big apple tree and picks apples on top of the treetop and take a nap under the shade. The big apple tree love playing with the little boy and the little boy loved playing with the big apple tree. Time past by and the little boy is all grown up. The boy came along one day to the big apple tree where he use to play around. He looked sad and the tre said to the boy," Come and play with me" but the boy said he wasn't a boy no longer h doesn't play a tree, what he use to do. He needs money to buy toys. The didn't to find any money but he apples. The boy picks all the apples and just left happily. The tree looked sad.The never came backon till one day the little turn a man. The man said he need a house, shelter that he could live in. The big apple tree said to take his branches to make a house. So he did. He cut off all of the braches and left happily made a house. The big apple tree was sad and wait. One summer the man want a boat. The gave his trunk to the man. The boy chop off the tree trunk. The man came back. The tree said to the man sorry that he has no apple to pick but the boy said he had no teeth so that was not a problem. The man need a place to relax. The tree said that he has dying roots to lean.
The lesson from the story was the parent like the big apple tree inthe story because when were young play our parents when we get old we leave the house but if in were trouble, will come back. Our parents would us everything that make us happy.
There was a boy who had a tree to play . He always ate apples . Than he did come back so he came back . and the tree ask him to play whit him. but he said no. becas he was to old . but he want toys and money .
I learned that boy treated that tree like we treat our parent a came to him only when he wanted something from it and he only used him for himself and never thought about the tree.So don't be like him and be so selfish!

there was boy and a tree the boy loved that tree and playing with it and left.the next time he came the tree told him to play with me he said no i am 2 old now i need money for toys and the tree said take my apples selled them and you will have money ,then the boy left.the boy came back as a man and the tree said play with me but the man said i cant play i hafto to work for my family and give them a shelter but the tree said i do not have a home but i have branches use them to built a house then the man took the branches and left. the man came back ,the tree asked him if he could play with him but the man said i am to old i need a boot ,the tree said i do not have a boot but i have a trunk use it to make your boot then the man left.
The story talks about a boy who enjoyed playing with trees then one day the tree came to the boy and asked him if he wanted to play with him then the boy remarked and said No I am to old to play with trees and I'm not a kid anymore. The tree was kind of resembling our parents which means we always takes things from them when were younger but we always seem to leave them when were older. SO DON'T BE SELFISH!
Hayat Saeed
