A soldier came home after having fought in Vietnam (越南). He called his parents from San Francisco.

“Mom and Dad, I’m coming home, but I have a friend with me.”

“Sure,” they replied, “We’d love to meet him.”

“There’s something you should know,” the son continued, “he was hurt badly in the fighting. He lost an arm and a leg. He has nowhere else to go, and I want him to live with us.”

“I’m sorry to hear that, son. Maybe we can help him find somewhere to live.”

“No, Mom and Dad, I want him to live with us.”

“Son,” said the father. “You don’t know what you’re asking. The young man’s handicap (残疾) will create such a terrible burden that we can’t afford. We have our own lives to live, and we can’t let something like this become a part of our lives. I think you should just come home and forget about this guy. He’ll find a way to live on his own.”

At that point, the son hung up the phone. A few days later, the parents received a call from the San Francisco police. Their son had died after falling from a building. The police believed it was suicide (自杀).

The sad parents flew to San Francisco to see the body of their son.

They recognized (认出) him, but to their surprise, they also discovered something they didn’t know before: their son had only one arm and one leg.

" The boy replied.  "I want toys. I need money to buy them. " " Sorry, I don't have money. But you can pick all my apples and sell them. So you will have money. " The boy picked all the apples on the tree and left happily. The boy never came back after he picked the apples.
