He thought over and over and 41 every place he could think of. 42 he decided to plant the tree in his woods. There were many high trees with thick leaves in the woods. With those trees around no one else could 43 the young apple tree. He even felt proud of himself for finding so 44 a place for the apple tree. Every day he went to take care of the tree, 45 it. To his surprise and 46 , the apple tree didn’t grow as he had 47 . It died without sunlight and good soil.
Later the friend asked the farmer why he had planted the tree in such a 48 place. “ What’s the difference?” the farmer said angrily, “ If I had planted the tree near the 49 , passers-by would have stolen the fruit. If I had planted the tree in one of my fields, my neighbors would have e at night and 50 some of the apples! If I had planted it near my house, my own children would have taken the 51_. No matter where I plant the tree, I can’t have 52 to enjoy the apples. So there is no difference where I planted it.”
“ Yes,” said the friend, “but 53 someone could have enjoyed the fruit. Now you not only have robbed everyone of the fruit, but also have 54 a good apple tree! You don’t know the true meaning of ‘share’!”
