A farmer had a brother in town who was a gardener,and had a garden full of the finest fruit trees.So his skill and his beautiful trees were famous everywhere.One day the farmer went into town to visit his brother,and was surprised at the trees that grew quite well.“Look,my brother,” said the gardener.“I will give you an apple tree,the best from my garden,and you,and your children,and your children’s children will enjoy it.” Then the gardener called his workmen and ordered them to take up the tree and carry it to his brother’s farm.They did so,and the next morning the farmer began to wonder where he should plant it.“If I plant it on the hill,” he said to himself,“the wind might catch it and shake down the delicious fruit before it is ripe.If I plant it close to the road,passers-by will see it and take away the apples—but if I plant it too near the door of my house,my children may pick the fruit.” So,
after he had thought the matter over,he planted the tree behind his barn (谷仓).Time passed,but the tree had no fruit the first year,nor the second—then the farmer sent for his brother.When the gardener came,the farmer said angrily,“You have cheated me,and given me a useless tree instead of a fruitful one.This is the third year and still brings out nothing but leaves!” The gardener laughed and said,“See where the tree was planted,it has no sun or warmth.How,then,could you expect flowers and fruit?”
一个农民有一个在镇子上的做园丁的弟弟,他有一个种满了最好果树的果园.所以弟弟的技能和他漂亮的果树在各地都很有名.一天这个农夫去镇上去看望他的弟弟,他很惊讶弟弟的果树长得那样好.园丁说“看,我的哥哥,我要送你一棵我们园子里最好的苹果树,那么你和你的孩子,还有你的孙子们都会享受它的果实了.”于是这个园丁就叫他的工人们命令他们砍掉树,并且把它放进哥哥的农场里.他的工人们这样做了以后第二天这个农夫就开始考虑这树到底应该种在哪里.他自言自语道“如果我把它种在小山上,风就会把还没有成熟的果子提前刮下来.若果我让它挨近道路,那么过往的人就会看见它然后把我的苹果摘下来—但是如果我把它种在离我的房子很近的地方,我的孩子们就会摘下果子.”就这样,在他思考了一会之后,和把树种在了他的谷仓旁边.时间一天天过去了.但是第一年这棵树没有结出果实,第二年也没有—于是,他请来了他的弟弟,当园丁来的时候,农夫很生气的对他说“你骗了我,给我了一棵结不出果实的树而不是最能让我收获的那棵.这是第三年了,我除了叶子什么也没有收获到!”园丁笑着说道:“看看你种的地方吧,这里没有太阳也不温暖,你还能期待花朵和果实吗?”
