　I like fishing very much. Every Sunday I get up early. And with my fishing equipment（装备用具）, I ride my bike to a river about two kilometres away from my house. I have to walk part of the way because I can not ride my bike through the fields.

　A few days ago, my wife wanted to go with me. She didn't want to stay at home every Sunday and asked me to take her with me. As there were two of us, we went by car. So we wouldn't walk the rest of the way. When we arrived, we both sat down and I started to fish. In two hours I caught nothing“Why don't you show me what to do and let me try?” asked my wife, “All right,”I said. She caught six big fat fish in half an hour. “I will take them home and cook them for lunch, you can get home by bus,”she said. I stayed by the river but caught only an old shoe. I arrived home feeling a little angry with myself. I am supposed（认定的）to be the fisherman in the family! Anyway, the fish was delicious. When the next Sunday arrived. I asked my wife if she wanted to go with me again. “Oh, no!” She exclaimed（呼喊，大声说）“I'd rather stay at home, it's so boring（令人厌烦的）catching fish.”

Once there was a huge apple tree. A little boy loved to come and play around it every day. He loved the tree and the tree loved to play with him.
Time went by…the little boy had grown up and he no longer played around the tree every day. One day, the boy came back to the tree and he looked sad. “Come and play with me,” the tree asked the boy. “I’m no longer a kid. I wouldn’t play around the tree any more.” the boy replied. “I want toys. I need money to buy them.” “Sorry, I don’t have money. But you can pick all my apples and sell them. So, you will have money.” The boy picked all the apples on the tree and left happily. The boy never came back after he picked the apples.
One day, the boy returned and the tree was so excited, “Come and play with me,” the tree said. “I don’t have time to play. I have to work for my family. We need a house for shelter. Can you help?” “Sorry, I don’t have a house. But you can cut off my branches to build your house.” So the boy cut all the branches off the tree and left happily. The tree was glad to see him happy but the boy never came back since then. The tree was again lonely and sad.
One hot summer day, the boy returned and the tree was pleased. “Come and play with me!” the tree said. “I am sad and getting old. I want to go sailing to relax myself. Can you give me a boat?” “Use my trunk to build your boat. You can sail far away and be happy.” So the boy cut the tree trunk to make a boat. He went sailing and never showed up for a long time.
Finally, the boy returned after he left for so many years. “Sorry, my boy. But I don’t have anything for you any more. The only thing left is my dying root,” the tree said with tears ①.
“Good! Old tree root is the best place to lean on and rest. Come and sit down with me and rest.” The boy sat down and the tree was glad and smiled with tears ② …
