A long time ago, there was a huge apple tree. A little boy loved to play around it every day. He climbed up to the tree top, ate some apples, and took a nap in its shade. He loved the tree and the tree loved the boy. One day the boy, was very sad. Looking at his sad state the apple tree questioned him upon his sadness. The boy wanted to buy a pair of shoes but didn't have enough money this saddened the boy and hearing it the tree too became sad. So the tree came up with an idea it told the boy to sell some of it's fine apples. The boy did as told and got his pair of shoes. He was very happy. The next day the boy came to the tree asking for more apples to sell to buy his new trousers. The tree willfully agreed to this. Now this became a habit and continued for quite sometime. Everytime the boy pleaded the tree gave it's apples with pleasure. One day as usual when the boy came for the tree's help, he noticed that there were no more apples left. Seeing this he became sad. The tree was heartbroken. So it told the boy to sell one of its branches. The boy first hesitated knowing it will pain for the tree but since the tree pleaded him to do so he agreed. Now the boy took the apple tree for granted and started selling all its branches till one day only the tree stump was left. He now realised how greedy he became and took the tree for granted. He begged the tree for forgiveness. Thankfully the tree was kind enough to forgive him. From that day onwards he learnt not to take anything for granted.
