The boy imagined he heard the tree said friendly to him, "Let's Climb me. Build a small play house up here. You may use the limb little if you want, also daunku abundant. "So the boy climbs the tree, broke several branches, take leaves, and made secret house high in the tree. Although it hurt the tree, but the tree was happy to sacrifice a little to see the boy get so much pleasure. During the long days, the boy will play in the tree house. The tree was satisfied.
When the boy grew older, he quit playing in the tree. The tree was sad, ducking branches and deadunannya lose luster.
Over the years, children who are now teenagers it back. The tree was delight to see him again. The young man thought he heard the tree said, "Come Climb me again. Your old tree house is still here. I miss you."
"Now I'm too old to play a tree house, 'thought the teenager. "I wanted to go but I'm too poor."
"No problem," the tree that seems to say, "Come back in a week. I will declare the fruit. I'll earn extra. Please harvesting all my fruit and sell it to pay for college tuition. "
Then the boy returned seven days later. The tree was filled with ripe fruit. The boy took everything until the last fruit, sell, and enough for tuition one year. The tree was very happy.
The boy was returned over the next three years, taking every fruit and sell them to meet the costs. The tree was happy. The tree was even seem to try harder each year to produce more fruit for his friend, even though this makes the tree was exhausted and felt more pain.
When he graduated, he stopped coming. The tree was sad again. A few years later, the boy, now a young man, back. He has a very clear impression that the old tree was weeping for joy to see it again. "Wait a few more days. Although I am now a bit weak, I can still produce a lot of fruit, that ye sold to pay for college. "
"I'm not in college anymore," the young man said, "I've got a job. I've fallen in love and want to marry, but we need a house to live in. "
"Not masalsah," a tree that seems to say, "come back tomorrow with a chainsaw. Take my heavy branches. It could be to make the floor boards and a strong pillar. In fact, there is enough wood to make the walls. Use small branches and large leaves for the roof. There are many."
Thus, the next day, the young man took the whole branches and leaves to make his home, leaving only the stem. Despite the severe wounding of the tree, the tree was happy to make great sacrifices for their loved ones.
Over the years, the boy never returned. The tree relies on happy memories to sustain her life.
When the child came again, now a middle-aged man, the tree was nearly jumping out of the ground with joy. "Welcome! Really happy to see you again! "This time even the birds could hear the tree. "What can I do for you? Please let me help. "
"I now have a son," the man replied, "and I want to start their own businesses my furniture to get enough money to give them a good life."
"Very good," said the old tree, "even though you may think I'm just an old stump, there are lots of beautiful wood in batangku to make lots of expensive furniture. Take it. I would be happy if you take all. "
Then he came the next day, cut down the trunk and got quite a lot of timber class to start a business furniture.
Shortly thereafter, the tree was dead.
Years later, the boy, has now become a parent, visiting the place where the healthy trees that once stood, where he built a tree house during her small, which is always so generous to him. What was left was the root decaying. The old man laid his head down on the roots of the moment. Roots was much more comfortable than feather pillows. He remembers tearfully how the tree has helped, without question, every time she needs help. How the tree was sacrificed everything for him, and happy to do so at any time. He pu asleep.
When he woke up from the dream, he realized that the tree is a parent.
