Once, there was a tree who love a boy 

Every day, the boy would come and 

would swing from her branches

And eat apples

And when we was tired,

he would sleep in her shade

And the boy loved the tree very much.

 And the tree was happy.

But time went by, and the boy grew older.

 And the tree was often alone.

Then one day the boy came to the tree and the tree said: "Come, Boy, come and climb up my trunk and swing from my branches and eat apples and play in my shade and                              be "happy".

"I am too big to climb and play," said the boy. "I want to buy things and have fun. I need money. Can you give me some money?"

 I have no money, said the tree.        I have only leaves and apples. Take my apples, Boy, and sell them in city. Then you will have money and you'll be happy."

And so the boy climbed up 

the tree and gathered her apples and carried them away. And the tree was happy...

But the boy 

stayed away for         a long time...     

and the tree was sad.

And then one day the boy came back and the tree shook with joy.

Come Boy, climb up my trunk and swing from my branches and be happy.

I'm too busy to climb trees. I want a house. Can you give me a house?

I have no house but you can cut off my branches and build the house.

And so the boy cut off her branches and carried them away. And the tree was happy.

The boy cut the tree and took the trunk.

GREECE

"I'm sorry, Boy." said the tree, "but I have nothing".

"You can not climb" said the tree,

"I'm too tired to climb" said the boy.

GREECE

"I wish that I could give you something ... but I have nothing left."

"Come, boy, sit down and rest" and the boy did. And the tree was happy.
