父 與 子
大 樹 之 恩
很久很久以前，有一棵又高又大的樹。
一位小男孩，天天到樹下來，他爬上去摘果子吃，在樹蔭下睡覺。他愛大樹，大樹也愛和他一起玩耍。
後來，小男孩長大了，不再天天來玩耍。
一天，他又來到樹下，很傷心的樣子。大樹要和他一起玩，男孩說：“不行，我不小了，不能再和你玩，我要玩具，可是沒錢買。”
男孩十分激動，他摘下所有的果子，高高興興地走了。
然後，男孩好久都沒有來。大樹很傷心。
有一天，男孩終於來了，大樹興奮地邀他一起玩。
男孩說：“不行，我沒有時間，我要替家裡幹活呢，我們需要一幢房子，你能幫忙嗎？”
“我沒有房子。”大樹說，“不過，你可以把我的樹枝統統砍下來，拿去搭房子。”
於是，男孩砍下所有的樹枝，高高興興地運走去蓋房子。看到男孩高興，大樹好快樂。
從此，男孩又不來了。
大樹再次陷入孤單和悲傷之中。
一年夏天，男孩回來了，大樹太快樂了：“來呀！孩子，來和我玩呀。”
男孩卻說：“我心情不好，一天天老了，我要揚帆出海，輕鬆一下，你能給我一艘船嗎？”
大樹說：“把我的樹榦砍去，拿去做船吧！”於是，男孩砍下了她的樹榦，造了條船，然後駕船走了，很久都沒有回來。
大樹好快樂……但不是真的。
許多年過去，男孩終於回來，大樹說：“對不起，孩子，我已經沒有東西可以給你了，我的果子沒了。”
男孩說：“我的牙都掉了，吃不了蘋果了。”
大樹又說：“我再沒有樹榦，讓你爬上來了。”
男孩說：“我太老了，爬不動了。”
“我再也沒有什麼給得出手了……只剩下枯死下去的老根。”樹流著淚說。
男孩說：“這麼多年過去了，現在我感到累了，什麼也不想要，只要一個休息的地方。”
“好啊！老根是最適合坐下來休息的，來啊，坐下來和我一起休息吧！”男孩坐下來，大樹高興得流下了眼淚……
這就是我們每個人的故事。這棵樹就是我們的父母。
小時候，我們喜歡和爸爸媽媽玩；長大后，我們就離開他們，只在需要什麼東西或者遇到麻煩的時候，才回到他們身邊。
無論如何，父母永遠都在那兒，傾其所有使你快樂。你可能認為這個男孩對樹很殘酷，但這就是我們很多人對待父母的方式。
朋友們, 請珍惜與父母在一起的時間！
因為：樹欲靜而風不止，子欲養而親不待。
父親節 快樂！
Child
When you were born into this world
Your mom and dad saw a dream fulfilled
Dream come true
The answer to their prayers
You were to them a special child
Gave 'em joy every time you smiled
Each time you cried
They're at your side to care
Child, you don't know
You'll never know how far they'd go
To give you all their love can give
To see you through and God it's true
They'd die for you, if they must, to see you live
How many seasons came and went
So many years have now been spent
For time ran fast
And now at last you're strong
Now what has gotten over you
You seem to hate your parents too
Do speak out your mind
Why do you find them wrong
Child you don't know
You'll never know how far they'd go
To give you all their love can give
To see you through and God it's true
They'd die for you, if they must, to see you live
And now your path has gone astray Child you ain't sure what to do or say You're so alone No friends are on your side
And child you now break down in tears Let them drive away your fears Where must you go Their arms stay open wide
Child you don't know You'll never know how far they'd go To give you all their love can give To see you through and God it's true They'd die for you, if they must, to see you live
Child you don't know You'll never know how far they'd go To give you all their love can give To see you through and God it's true They'd die for you, if they must, to see you live

It's not time to make a change Just relax, take it easy You're still young, that's your fault There's so much you have to know Find a girl, settle down If you want you can marry Look at me, I am old, but I'm happy I was once like you are now And I know that it's not easy To be calm when you've found Something going on But take your time, think a lot Think of everything you've got For you will still be here tomorrow But your dreams may not How can I try to explain? When I do he turns away again It's always been the same, same old story From the moment I could talk I was ordered to listen Now there's a way And I know that I have to go away I know I have to go
It's not time to make a change Just relax, take it slowly You're still young, that's your fault There's so much you have to go through Find a girl, settle down If you want you can marry Look at me, I am old, but I'm happy All the times that I've cried Keeping all the things I knew inside It's hard, but it's harder to ignore it If they were right I'd agree But it's them they know, not me Now there's a way And I know that I have to go away I know I have to go
