Once there was a huge apple tree.A little boy loved to come and play around it every day.He loved the tree and the tree loved to play with him.
Time went by…the little boy had grown up and he no longer played around the tree every day.One day, the boy came back to the tree and he looked sad.“Come and play with me,” the tree asked the boy.“I’m no longer a kid.I wouldn’t play around the tree any more.” 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.
One day, the boy returned and the tree was so excited, “Come and play with me,” the tree said.“I don’t have time to play.I have to work for my family.We need a house for shelter.Can you help?” “Sorry, I don’t have a house.But you can cut off my branches to build your house.” So the boy cut all the branches off the tree and left happily.The tree was glad to see him happy but the boy never came back since then.The tree was again lonely and sad.
One hot summer day, the boy returned and the tree was pleased.“Come and play with me!” the tree said.“I am sad and getting old.I want to go sailing to relax myself.Can you give me a boat?” “Use my trunk to build your boat.You can sail far away and be happy.” So the boy cut the tree trunk to make a boat.He went sailing and never showed up for a long time.
Finally, the boy returned after he left for so many years.“Sorry, my boy.But I don’t have anything for you any more.The only thing left is my dying root,” the tree said with tears ①.
“Good! Old tree root is the best place to lean on and rest.Come and sit down with me and rest.” The boy sat down and the tree was glad and smiled with tears ② …

Tips for Cooking on a Tight Schedule
From my experience, there are three main reasons why people don’t cook more often: ability, money and time. 1. Money is a topic I’ll save for another day. So today I want to give you some wisdom about how to make the most of the time you spend in the kitchen. Here are three tips for great cooking on a tight schedule:
1. Think ahead. The moments when I think cooking is a pain are when I’m already hungry and there’s nothing ready to eat. So think ahead of the coming week. When will you have time to cook? Do you have the right materials already? 2.
2. Make your time worth it. When you do find time to cook a meal, make the most of it and save yourself time later on. Are you making one loaf of bread? 3. It takes around the same amount of time to make more of something. So save yourself the effort for a future meal.
3. 4. This may surprise you, but one of the best tools for making cooking worth your time is experimentation. It gives you the chance to hit upon new ideas and recipes that can work well with your appetite and schedule. The more you learn and the more you try, the more ability you have to take control of your food and your schedule.
Hopefully that gives a good start. 5. And don’t let a busy schedule discourage you from making some great changes in the way you eat and live!
A. Try new things.
B. Ability is easily improved.
C. Make three or four instead.
D. Understand your food better.
E. Cooking is a burden for many people.
F. Let cooking and living simply be a joy rather than a burden.
G. A little time planning ahead can save a lot of work later on.
