It is an Oak Tree 这是一棵橡树
One summer, two men, who had come to the country for their holidays. They were walking in an orchard. They saw that all the trees were bending under a heavy load of apples. Except one tree on which there were no apples at all. A small country boy was sitting nearby. They called to him. "Come here, boy. Here's a six pence for you. Do you know why there are no apples on that tree?" "Of course I do, sir, because it is an oak tree," answered the boy. 一年夏天,有两个人来到乡下度假。 他们漫步走进果园,只见果实累累,结满了苹果,英语小故事那些树都被压弯了腰,而又一棵树上一个苹果也没有。 旁边地上坐着一个乡下小男孩。他们大声向他问道:“孩子,过来,给你六便士,你知道为什么这棵树上没有苹果吗?” 那男孩回答说:“当然知道,先生,因为这是一棵橡树。” |
