六、阅读理解
There is an old tree on a dry land. The tree has so many branches. It brings shadow to lots of travellers.
One day, two travellers got to the tree. They walked for a long time in the hot sun. They were too hot and tired to walk any more. Luckily, they found the tree.
They decided to take a rest under the tree. They slept there for a long time. When they woke up, they felt hungry and one traveller climbed up the tree. But he was sad to see nothing.
He started to say bad words about the tree. “Oh, this is just a useless tree without any fruits on it!” The other traveller said nothing about the tree but asked his friend to be quiet. However, the traveller in the tree still shouted at the tree.
The tree couldn't stand the traveller at last. He said in a sad yet strong voice, “You can't be so ungrateful (忘恩负义的) to me. Just look back to the moment when you got here in the hot sun! I gave you a cool and comfortable place to rest. You would die now without me!”
Many people do much for us, but we sometimes forget to give thanks but only complain. Make sure not to say bad words about one who has helped you.
