Answer 1

The fable presents a sentimental story to us in which an apple tree satisfied a boy’s wishes unconditionally by sacrificing everything for him. All it desired is the boy’s company.
The tree in the fable is affectionate and unselfish. The moral of it is that parental love is so infinite that children should be grateful for that. I was deeply moved by the fable and felt an impulse to praise all the parents. It made me realize how great my parents are and I should be grateful for what they have done.
If I were the boy, I would keep contact with the tree and be considerate. First, from the bottom of my heart, I know the tree is more than a tree, it is my dearest love. Young or old, I would keep in touch with it using various ways. If I have to travel away, I would write to it, phone him or send e-mails to it informing it of my life. Secondly, in order not to let my dearest feel so lonely, I would plant some trees and flowers around it. These plants will brave the hard winters with it. In addition, I would invite some other children to play with it. Their company will surely make the life more colorful.
Therefore, if I were the boy, I would hold the tree dear.
