The Giving Tree－SKY RAY

今晚很意外,也很幸運地在一間賣二手書的店鋪裡買到這本書.

冥冥之中,就像緣份註定....方踏入這家我從未去過的書店,一眼就看到混雜在成堆中文書裡的綠色書皮.

心跳的很,我連忙伸手越過蹲在旁邊的男學生,把書從一落又一落的小說中取出來.

翻開看,每一頁都印著一行、兩行、三行....的簡短英文(可能是上一位翻閱者匆匆忙忙放錯了書櫃),書中還夾著用綠色信封裝著的小卡片.

我開心地以6折價買下這本原定560元的英文書.

回家後,我把書遞給了正在聽All+的mina,要求她一字一句地唸給我聽,mina每讀完一小段又為我做了中文講解.

『Once, there was a tree…

And she loved a little boy.

And every day the boy would come

And he would gather her leaves

And make them into crowns and play king of the forest.

He would climb up her trunk

And swing from her branches

And eat apples

And they would play hide-and-go-seek.

And when he was tired, he would sleep in her shade.

And the boy loved the tree… very much…

And the tree was happy.............』
