故事標題: The Magic Apple Tree

Once upon a time, there was a magical apple tree that grew in a secret garden. The tree was said to have magical powers that could grant wishes to those who were kind and deserving.

The tree grew tall and beautiful, with golden leaves that shimmered in the sunlight. Every morning, the tree would produce an apple that was as red as blood and as sweet as honey.

One day, a young boy named Jack wandered into the garden and came upon the apple tree. He saw the apples and immediately wished that he could have as many as possible. But before he could make his wish, the tree spoke to him.

"Jack, you seem like a kind boy. I will grant you one wish, but first you must do something for me," said the tree.

Jack agreed and the tree told him to collect all the fallen apples each day and return them to the tree the next morning. Jack did as he was told and soon he had a large pile of red apples.

One day, as he was collecting his apples, he noticed a small, shriveled apple that had been hidden at the bottom of the pile. He picked it up and tasted it, and it was even sweeter than the others.

Jack wished that he could keep this magical apple and the tree agreed to give it to him. But first, the tree warned him that he must always treat others with kindness and respect, for only those who were kind would ever find the sweetness of its fruits.

From that day on, Jack and the magical apple tree became good friends. He kept the magical apple in his pocket and shared its sweetness with those he loved. And whenever he needed a wish, he would return to the tree and make his request with humility and kindness.

The story of Jack and the magical apple tree reminds us of the importance of being kind and always giving back to those who deserve our love and kindness. In return, we will find joy, happiness, and even magic in our lives.
