The story is about a boy and a caring tree. When the boy was young he always played with the tree. But when the boy grows older , he will always come to the tree to get something. Such as the branches to build a house for his family and the trunk to make a boat for him to go sailing. Although the man is greedy, the tree always looks foward to meet him.But after getting want he wants, the man will not show up for years. Later when the young boy turns into a old man, he will come back and ask for a place to rest,the tree will reply" I'm dying now but you can rest on my thick roots."This shows the tree is very caring and had never been selfish to the man,but the man had the total opposite behaviour.In this story, this is like our kind and caring parents now.They do everything for us , so, we must appreciate them and do not make them unhappy. I think everyone should read this wonderful story.
