ஒரு விவசாயி, ஒரு பெரிய வேளாண் நிலம் வைத்திருந்தார். அவர் சிறுவனாக இருந்தபோது ஒரு ஆப்பிள் மரத்துடன் விளையாடுவதை அவர் மிகவும் விரும்பினார். அதே நேரத்தில் மரம் அவருக்கு ஆப்பிள்களைக் கொடுத்தது. ஆனால் இப்போது அது ஆப்பிள் பழங்களை கொடுப்பதை நிறுத்தியது. எனவே, மரத்தை வெட்டவும் மரத்தால் சில தளவாடங்கள் தயாரிக்கவும் விவசாயி முடிவு செய்தார். அவர் தனது குழந்தை பருவத்தில் மரம் ஏறியதையும் ஆப்பிள்களை சாப்பிட்டதையும் மறந்து விடுகிறார். ஆப்பிள் மரம் இப்போது சில விலங்குகளின் வீடாக இருக்கிறது. மரத்தை வெட்ட வேண்டாம் என்று அவரது மகளின் குழந்தைகள் அவரிடம் கெஞ்சினர். ஒரு சிறிய பழம் கிளையில் தொங்குவதைக் கண்டார். அதைப் பறித்து தின்றார். அவர் சிறுவனாக இருந்தபோது, அவர் சுவைத்தும், நகைத்தும் மகிழந்த நினைவுகள் அவருடைய மனதில் வேகமாக வந்தன. அவர் மனம் மாறினர். அவரது கோடாரியை கீழே போடு. இந்த மரத்தை நான் ஒருபோதும் வெட்ட மாட்டேன் என்று அவர் தனது மகளிடம் கூறினார். உங்களுக்கும் உங்கள் நண்பர்களுக்கும் நான்கு மரம் இருக்கும்.
