Once there lived a farmer called Henry. He had a brother, Mike, in town who was an excellent gardener. His skill and his beautiful trees were ________ everywhere.

One day, Henry went to town to visit Mike. “Look, my brother,” said Mike, “Here is the best apple tree from my garden. Take it home and plant it, so that you, and your children, and your children’s children can ________ it.” Henry was ________ with the apple tree and went back home. The next morning he began to ________ where he should plant it.

“If I plant it on the hill,” said he to himself, “the wind might catch it and ________ down the fruit. If I plant it close to the road, people who pass by will pick some of them. But if I plant it...”

Finally he planted the tree in the corner behind his house, where no one else could notice it. But the tree bore(结出) no fruit the first year, nor the second. Then Henry sent for his brother and said to him ________, “You have cheated(欺骗) me. This is the third year and it brings me ________ but leaves.”

When Mike saw ________ the tree was planted, he laughed and said, “You have planted the tree in such a cold corner without ________or warmth. How, then, could you ________ flowers and fruit?”
