A long time ago, there wa a huge apple tree. A little boy loved to come and lay around it every day. He climbed to the tree top, ate the apple, took a nap under the hadow... He loved the tree and the tree loved to play with him.
很久很久以前，有一棵又高又大的苹果树。一位小男孩，天天到树下来，他爬上去摘苹果吃，在树荫下睡觉。他爱苹果树，苹果树也爱和他一起玩耍。
Time went by... the little boy had grown up and he no longer played around the tree every day. One day, the boy came back to the tree and he looked ad. “Come and play with me,” the tree aked the boy. “I am no longer a kid, I don’t play around tree anymore.” The boy replied, “I want toy. I need money to buy them.”“Sorry, but I don’t have money...but you can pick all my apple and ell them. So, you will have money.” The boy wa o excited. He grabbed all the apple on the tree and left happily. The boy never came back after he picked the apple. The tree wa ad.
后来，小男孩长大了，不再天天来玩耍。一天他又来到树下，很伤心的样子。苹果树要和他一起玩，男孩说：“不行，我不小了，不能再和你玩，我要玩具，可是没钱买。”苹果树说：“很遗憾，我也没钱，不过，把我所有的果子摘下来卖掉，你不就有钱了？”男孩十分激动，他摘下所有的苹果，高高兴兴地走了。然后，男孩好久都没有来。苹果树很伤心。WWw.hAOzuowEn.com

有一天，男孩终于来了，树兴奋地邀他一起玩。男孩说：“不行，我没有时间，我要替家里干活呢，我们需要一幢房子，你能帮忙吗？”“我没有房子，”苹果树说，“不过你可以把我的树枝统统砍下来，拿去搭房子。”于是男孩砍下所有的树枝，高高兴兴地运走去盖房子。看到男孩高兴树好快乐。从此，男孩又不来了。树再次陷入孤单和悲伤之中。

一年夏天，男孩回来了，树太快乐了：“来呀！孩子，来和我玩呀。”男孩却说：“我心情不好，一天天老了，我要扬帆出海，轻松一下，你能给我一艘船吗？”苹果树说：“把我的树干砍去，拿去做船吧！”于是男孩砍下了她的树干，造了条船，然后驾船走了，很久都没有回来。树好快乐……但不是真的。
Finally, the boy returned after he left for o many year. “Sorry, my boy. But I don’t have anything for you anymore. No more apple for you...” the tree aid.
许多年过去，男孩终于回来，苹果树说：“对不起，孩子，我已经没有东西可以给你了，我的苹果没了。”
“I don’t have teeth to bite,” the boy replied.
男孩说：“我的牙都掉了，吃不了苹果了。”
“No more trunk for you to climb on.”
苹果树又说：“我再没有树干，让你爬上来了。”
“I am too old for that now,” the boy aid.
男孩说：“我太老了，爬不动了。”
“I really can’t give you anything... the only thing left i my dying root,” the tree aid with tear.
“我再也没有什么给得出手了……，只剩下枯死下去的老根，”树流着泪说。
“I don’t need much now, jut a place to ret. I am tired after all thee year.” The boy replied.
男孩说：“这么多年过去了，现在我感到累了，什么也不想要，只要一个休息的地方。”
“Good! Old tree root i the bet place to lean on and ret. Come, Come it down with me and ret.” The boy at down and the tree wa glad and miled with tear...
“好啊！老根是最适合坐下来休息的，来啊，坐下来和我一起休息吧！”男孩坐下来，苹果树高兴得流下了眼泪……

坦诚对己，注重行动吧。事实胜于雄辩，行动才能证明事实。你的行动是如何说明你的呢？如果你说热爱自己的工作，而你的行动正好相反，你认为哪个更有说服力呢——言语还是行动？另一方面，如果你说不擅长某项工作，但你的行动正好相反，这也很重要。你怎么处理你这种能力？你可以由此在生活中做出更多的选择，坦诚对己也建立在以前的行为上，你以后的行动将会以事实为基础，而不只是你的言词。
