15.The Apple Tree (1)
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, played under the tree... 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.
One day, the boy came back to the tree and looked sad.“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 don't have money. But you can pick all my apples and sell them So, you will have money.”The boy was so excited. He picked all the apples on the tree and left happily. The boy didn't come back after he picked the apples. The tree was sad.
One day, the boy returned and the tree was so excited“Come and play with me”The tree said“I don't have time to play. I have to work for my family. We need a house Can you help me?”“Sorry, but I don't have a house But you can cut off my branches(枝干)to build your house.”, so the boy cut all the branches of the tree and left happily.
The tree was glad to see him full of joy, but the boy didn't appear since then The tree was again lonely and sad.
15.苹果树(1)
很久以前有一棵巨大的(huge)苹果树(apple tree)。一个小男孩每天都喜欢来到树旁玩耍。他爬(climb)到树顶、吃苹果、在树下玩……他爱这棵树，树也爱和他一起玩。
随着时间的流逝，小男孩长大了(grow up)。他不再到树旁玩耍了。
一天，男孩回到树旁，他看起来很悲伤。“来和我玩吧！”树说。
“我不再是个小孩(kid)，我不会再到树下玩耍了．”男孩答道，“我想要玩具(toy)，我需要(need)钱来买。”
“很遗憾，我没有钱。但是你可以摘(pick)我所有的苹果拿去卖。这样你就有钱了。”男孩很兴奋(excited)。他摘掉树上所有的苹果，然后高兴地离开了。摘过苹果以后，男孩没再回来(come back)。树很伤心。
一天，男孩回来(return)了，树非常兴奋，“来和我玩吧”，树说。“我没有时间玩．我不得不(have to)为我的家庭工作。我们需要一个房子，你能帮我吗？”“很遗憾，我没有房子。但是，你可以砍下(cut off)我的树枝来建房。”因此，男孩砍下所有的树枝，高高兴兴地离开了。
看到他充满欢乐(full of joy)，树也很高兴(glad)。但是，自从(since)那时起，男孩没再出现(appear)，树很孤独(lonely)很悲伤。
