"There was once a great apple tree and a little boy. They would spend hours and hours together. The boy would play in the tree's branches, sleep at her roots and eat of her apples. And the tree loved the boy.
One day, the boy came to the tree. The tree was delighted and beckoned, 'Come and play!' But the boy was no longer a boy, he was now a young man, and he was interested in making a living, but he didn't know how.
'Here,' the tree said, 'take my apples and sell them.' The young man did just that, and the tree was happy.
In the 1970s, Shel Silverstein produced music for several movies. His first movie soundtrack was for the film "Ned Kelly." It is based on a true story about a famous Australian criminal. Here is a song from the album. It is called "Ned Kelly."
