题目内容
A poor farmer has a friend. One day, his friend gives him a young apple tree and tells him to take it home and plant it.
The farmer is pleased with the gift, but when he gets home, he doesn’t know where to plant it. Finally he plants the tree in the forest where no one can see it. But without sunlight or good soil, the tree will soon die.
Later the friend asks the farmer why he plants the tree in such a poor place. “What’s the difference?” the farmer says angrily. “If I plant the tree near the road, strangers will steal the fruit. If I plant the tree in one of my fields, my neighbors will come at night and steal some of the apples. If I plant it near my house, my own children will take the fruit.”
“Yes,” says his friend, “but at least someone can enjoy the fruit. Now you not only rob(剥夺) everyone of the fruit, but also you destroy(破坏) a good apple tree.”
