一个穷困的农夫有一个朋友,这个朋友因为种出了神奇的苹果而远近闻名。有一天,农夫的这个朋友送给他一棵小苹果树,并叫他拿回家栽好。农夫对这个礼物非常高兴,但当他回到家时,却不知道将它栽在什么地方。他担心如果他把树栽在路边,陌生人会偷树上的苹果。如果他把树栽在自己的一块地里,邻居们夜里就会过来偷苹果。如果他把树栽在自己的房子边,他的孩子们就会摘苹果。 A poor farmer has a friend who is well-known for planting miraculous apples. One day, this farmer’s friend gave him a small apple tree and told him to bring it home and plant it. The farmer is very happy about this present, but when he returns home, he does not know where to plant it. He worried that if he planted trees on the curb, strangers would steal the apples from the trees. If he planted the tree in his own field, the neighbors would come and steal the apple in the night. If he planted trees in his own house, his children would pick apples.
