There was a boy who loved to play by an apple tree as a child. As he grew up, he would return to the tree only when he needed its apples or wood. The tree provided for the boy without complaint each time. In his old age, the lonely boy returned to the tree again, and it welcomed him by its roots without any gifts left to give. The story conveys the message that parents selflessly give to their children throughout life and ask for little in return but their company.
