So his skill and his beautiful trees were famous everywhere. One day the farmerwent into the town to visit his brother, and was surprised at the trees that grew quite well. Look, my brother, said the gardener. I will give you an apple tree, the best from my garden,and you, and your children, and your childrens children will enjoy it. Then the gardener called his workmen and ordered them to take up the tree and carry it tohis brothers farm. They did so, and the next morning the farmer began to wonder where heshould plant it.If I plant it on the hill, he said to himself, the wind might catch it and shake down thedelicious fruit before it is ripe. If I plant it close to the road, passersby will see it and take awaythe apples-but if I plant it too near the door of my house, my children may pick the fruit. So,after he had thought the matter over, he planted the tree behind his barn（谷仓）. Time passed, but the tree had no fruit the first year, nor the second-then the farmer called hisbrother. When the gardener came, the farmer said angrily, You have cheated me, and given me auseless tree instead of a fruitful one. This is the third year and still it brings out nothing but leaves!
