A SMALL BOY WHO OFTEN USED TO PLAY AROUND AN APPLE TREE AND REST WHENEVER HE WAS TIRED. THE TREE WAS VERY HAPPY WHENEVER THE BOY IS AROUND AND FILLED WITH SORROW IN HIS ABSENCE AND WHENEVER HE FACES PROBLEMS. THE BOY USED TO PLAY AROUND THE TREE EVERYDAY WHEN HE WAS YOUNG. DAYS PASSED BY AND THE BOY BECAME A GROWN UP. HE WENT FOR COLLEGE AND THE GAP BETWEEN HIM AND THE TREE WAS WIDENING. WHENEVER HE REQUIRES MONEY, HE WILL COME TO THE TREE AND THE TREE OFFERED HIM PLENTY OF APPLES WHICH HE SOLD AND OVERCAME HIS MONEY PROBLEMS. HE GOT MARRIED AND THE GAP BETWEEN HIM AND THE APPLE TREE STILL MORE WIDENED AND HE VISITED THE TREE ONCE A MONTH. WHEN EVER HE WAS TIRED AND DEJECTED, HE WILL VISIT THE TREE AND TOOK REST. DAYS PASSED BY, THE TREE BECAME OLD AND COULD NOT BEAR ANY FRUITS. WHEN THE BOY FACED MONEY PROBLEMS, THE TREE TOLD THE BOY, "SON I AM AGED AND CAN NO LONGER GIVE FRUITS. CUT MY BRANCHES AND TRUNK, SELL AND MEET YOUR FINANCIAL NEEDS. I DON'T WANT MY SON TO FACE DIFFICULTIES, I AM READY TO DIE" THE BOY CUT THE BRANCHES AND TRUNK AND SOLD IT. AFTER HE FULFILLED ALL HIS RESPONSIBILITIES, HE VISITED THE APPLE TREE AFTER A VERY LONG TIME, THE TREE SAID, SON THIS TIME I DON'T HAVE ANYTHING BUT I HAVE FULL OF LOVE FOR YOU ALL THE TIME, REST ON MY ROOTS AND I AM WITH YOU ALWAYS" THIS IS THE STORY COMPARING THE LOVE OF PARENTS AND THE APPLE TREE IS NONE OTHER THAN OUR PARENTS!! THEY ARE THE FIRST AND LAST LIVING GODS IN OUR LIVES!!!!!!! --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Chennai-2006" group.
