A poor farmer had a friend who was famous for the wonderful apples he grew.
One day,his friend gave the farmer a young apple tree and told him to take it home and plant it.The farmer was pleased with the gift,but when he got home he did not know where to plant it.
He was afraid that if he planted the tree near the road,strangers would steal the fruit;if he planted the tree on his farm,his neighbors would come at night and steal some of the apples;if he planted the tree near his house,his children would take the fruit.
Finally he planted the tree in a forest where no one could see it.But without sunlight and good soil,the tree soon died.

答案

一位贫农有一个以种出优良苹果闻名的朋友.
有一天,他的朋友给了农民一个株苹果树苗,让他带回家种植.农民对于收到的礼物非常高兴,但是当他回家,他不知道哪里可以种植这颗树.
他担心,如果他将树种在路的附近,苹果可能会被陌生人偷走；如果种在他的农场,一些苹果肯能会被邻居在夜间偷走；如果种在他家附近,苹果可能会被他的孩子们摘走.
最后,他将这树种在阴暗的森林中,但缺乏阳光与沃土的树很快地枯死了.
后来,朋友问他为什么在一个如此贫乏的地方种树.
“这有什么区别?”农民气愤地说.“如果他将树种在路的附近,苹果可能会被陌生人偷走；如果种在他的农场,一些苹果肯能会被邻居在夜间偷走；如果种在他家附近,苹果可能会被他的孩子们摘走.”
“对”他的朋友说道,“但至少有人可以享受这果实.而现在没有人能尝到这果实的味道.更糟的是,你毁了一棵优良的苹果树!”
