"I'm sorry. I have to do so, " the man said, "because I need wood to make a chair." Then he began to wave his axe. At that moment, a bird in the old tree shouted at him, "Don't cut it down! Every time you go out and your wife feels lonely, she will come out to the garden and sit under the tree to enjoy its cool shade, and I sing songs to make her happy. We give much pleasure to your wife when you are away from home."
The man didn't listen to the bird and drove it away. Just when he was about to cut the tree, some bees flew out of it and said, "Listen! If you agree not to kill this tree, we will give you delicious honey every day. Would you please leave the tree with us?"
The man got moved. He said, "You are so kind to the tree, although it has become old. Now I see that I shouldn't cut it down. It has done so much for me and my wife. Let the tree stay here, and let the bird continue its songs here." With these words, the man left. And the old tree lived there to its last day.

There was an old pear tree in a man's garden. In the past, the tree fruited every year, so the man
would get many pears. But now, the tree got old. There were no more pears for the man. So the
ungrateful man decided to cut the tree down. When he walked toward the tree with an axe in his hand,
the tree said to him, "Please don't cut me down. I have borne so many pears for you in the past years.
Now I will die soon. I only have a short time to live. Please don't kill a dying tree that has done so much
for you."
"I'm sorry. I have to do so," the man said, "because I need wood to make a chair." Then he began to
wave his axe. At that moment, a bird in the old tree shouted at him, "Don't cut it down! Every time you
go out and your wife feels lonely, she will come out to the garden and sit under the tree to enjoy its cool
shade, and I sing songs to make her happy. We give much pleasure to your wife when you are away
from home."
The man didn't listen to the bird and drove it away. Just when he was about to cut the tree, some
bees flew out of it and said, "Listen! If you agree not to kill this tree, we will give you delicious honey
every day. Would you please leave the tree with us?"
The man got moved. He said, "You are so kind to the tree, although it has become old. Now I see
that I shouldn't cut it down. It has done so much for me and my wife. Let the tree stay here, and let the
bird continue its songs here." With these words, the man left. And the old tree lived there to its last day.
I won’t forget her advice
I had a very special teacher in high school many years ago. Her husband died of a heart attack. About a week after his death, she shared some of her insights(见解)with us.
The class was nearly over. She said, “Before class is over, I would like to share with all of you an important thought.”
“Each of us is put here on Earth to learn, share, love, enjoy and give all by ourselves. We must make the best of every single day.”
Her eyes were beginning to water and she went on, “So I would like you all to make me a promise. From now on, on your way to school, or on your way home, find something beautiful to notice. It doesn’t have to be something you see — it could be a nice smell — perhaps of freshly baked bread, or it could be the sound of the breeze slightly blowing the leaves in the trees.”
“Please look for these things, and love them. For, although it may seem common, these things are the stuff(素材)of life. They are the little things we are put here on Earth to enjoy. They are the things we often take for granted. We must make it a point to notice them, for at any time it can all be taken away.”
The class was completely quiet. We picked up our books and went out of the room silently. That afternoon, I noticed more things on my way home from school than I had that whole term.
I usually think of that teacher and try to enjoy all of those things that we sometimes overlook (忽略).
Take notice of something special you see during your lunch hour today. Walk barefoot along the beach at sunset. For as we get older, it is not the things we did that we regret(后悔), but the things we didn’t do.
