One day, the child came to see the tree, and the tree said, "Come on, son, climb on me, swing on the branches, eat some apples and play in the shade for a while." You will be very happy! "
"I am too old to climb trees," said the child. "I want to buy something interesting. I need some money. Can you give me some money? "
