[00:21.93]The Boy and the Tree 男孩和树
[00:29.90]A long time ago,
[00:33.31]there was a huge tree.
[00:35.48]A little boy loved to come and play around it every day.
[00:39.31]He loved the tree and the tree loved to play with him.
[00:43.26]Time went by…The little boy had grown up
[00:46.86]and he no longer played around the tree.
[00:48.84]One day, the boy returned and the tree was so excited.
[00:53.54]“Come and play with me,”
[00:56.04]The tree said.
[00:57.25]“I don’t have time to play.
[00:59.53]I have to work for my family.
[01:01.85]We need a house for a shelter 4.
[01:03.93]Can you help me?”
[01:05.33]“Sorry, but I don’t have a house.
[01:08.85]But you can cut off my branches to build your house.”
[01:12.24]So the boy cut all the branches of the tree
[01:15.42]and left happily.
[01:16.39]The tree was glad to see him happy
[01:19.35]but the boy didn’t appear since then.
[01:21.75]The tree was lonely and sad.
[01:24.16]One hot summer day,
[01:25.90]the boy returned and the tree was delighted.
[01:28.64]“Come and play with me!”
[01:30.81]the tree said.
[01:32.03]“I am sad and getting old.
[01:35.21]I want to go sailing 5 to relax myself.
[01:38.16]Can you give me a boat?”
[01:39.58]“Use my trunk to build the boat.
[01:42.75]You can sail and be happy.”
[01:44.62]So the boy cut the tree trunk to make a boat.
[01:48.33]He went sailing and did not show up for a long time.
[01:52.26]Finally, the boy returned after he left for so many years.
[01:56.85]“Sorry, my boy, but I don’t have anything for you anymore.
[02:01.00]The only thing left is my dying 6 roots.”
[02:04.08]The tree said with tears.
[02:06.60]“I don’t need much now,
[02:08.78]just a place to rest.
[02:10.43]I am tired after all these years.”
[02:13.26]The boy replied.
[02:14.58]“Good! Old tree roots are the best place to lean 7 on and rest.
[02:19.83]Come here, please sit down with me and have a rest.”
[02:23.32]The boy sat down and the tree was glad and smiled with tears…
[02:28.68]This is a story of everyone.
[02:32.18]The tree is our parent.
[02:34.59]When we were young,
[02:36.13]we loved to play with Mom and Dad…
[02:38.31]When we grow up, we leave them,
[02:40.94]and only come to them when we need something
[02:43.51]or when we are in trouble.
[02:44.76]No matter what,
[02:46.96]parents will always be there
[02:48.36]and give everything they could to make you happy.
[02:50.78]You may think that the boy is cruel to the tree
[02:53.91]but that’s how all of us are treating our parents.
