157. Chuyện cây táo

Ngày xửa ngày xưa có một cây táo to. Một cậu bé rất thích đến chơi với cây táo mỗi 
ngày. Nó leo lên ngọn cây hái táo ăn, ngủ trưa trong bóng râm.
Nó yêu cây táo và cây cũng rất yêu nó. Thời gian trôi qua, cậu bé đã lớn và không
còn đến chơi với cây táo mỗi ngày.
Một ngày nọ, cậu bé trở lại chỗ cây táo với vẻ mặt buồn rầu, cây táo reo to :
- Hãy đến chơi với ta.
- Cháu không còn là trẻ con, chảu chẳng thích chơi quanh gốc cây nữa.
Cháu chỉ thích đồ chơi thôi và cháu đang cần tiền để mua chúng.
- Ta rất riếc là không có tiền, nhưng cậu có thể hái tất cả táo của ta và dêm bán. Rồi
cậu sẽ có tiền.
Cậu bé rất mừng. Nó vặt tất cả táo trên cây và sung sướng bỏ đi, Cây táo lại buồn
bã vì cậu bé chẳng quay lại nữa.
Một hôm, cậu bé – giờ đã là một chàng trai – trở lại và cây táo vui lắm :
- Hãy đến chơi với ta.
- Cháu không có thời gian để chơi. Cháu còn phải làm việc nuôi sống gia đình. Gia
đình cháu đang cần một mái nhà để trú ngụ. Bác có giúp gì được cháu không ?
- Ta xin lỗi, ta không có nhà. Nhưng cậu có thể chặt cành của ta để dựng nhà.
Và chàng trai chặt hết cành cây. Cây táo mừng lắm nhưng cậu bé vẫn chẳng quay
lại. Cây táo lại cảm thấy cô đơn và buồn bã.
Một ngày hè nóng nực, chàng trai – bây giờ đã là người cao tuổi – quay lại và cây
táo vô cùng vui sướng.
- Hãy đến chơi với ta.
- Cháu đang buồn vì cảm thấy mình già đi. Cháu muốn đi chèo thuyền thư giãn một
mình. Bác có thể cho cháu một cái thuyền không ?
- Hãy dùng thân cây của ta để đóng thuyền. Rồi cậu chèo ra xa thật xa và sẽ thấy
thanh thản.
Chàng trai chặt thân cây làm thuyền. Cậu chèo thuyền đi.
Nhiều năm sau, chàng trai quay lại.
- Xin lỗi, con trai của ta. Nhưng ta chẳng còn gì cho cậu nữa. Không còn táo.
- Cháu có còn răng nữa đâu mà ăn.
- Ta cũng chẳng còn cành cho cậu leo trèo.
- Cháu đã quá già rồi.
- Ta thật sự chẳng giúp gì cho cậu được nữa. Cái duy nhất còn lại là bộ rễ đang
chết dần mòn của ta – cây táo nói trong nước mắt.
- Cháu chẳng cần gì nhiều, chỉ cần một chỗ ngồi nghỉ. Cháu đã quá mệt mỏi
sau những năm đã qua.
- Ôi, thế thì cái gốc cây già cỗi này là một nới rất tốt cho cậu ngồi dựa vào và
nghỉ ngơi.
Hãy đến đây với ta.
Chàng trai ngồi xuống và cây táo mừng rơi nước mắt.

Con người thường là như vậy đó ! chỉ nghĩ đến những gì có lợi cho mình mà không cần biết người khác như thế nào
