Prince: 我最初对老妇人种树的行为感到好奇,因为她已经100岁了,可能无法亲眼见到树结果。但老妇人的回答让我深受感动,她种树不是为了自己,而是为了她的子孙后代,希望他们也能享受到树的果实。她的善良和慷慨让我决定奖励她,并开始思考如何为后代创造更美好的未来。 Old Woman: 我种这棵无花果树不是为了我自己,而是为了我的子孙后代。我的祖先种了苹果树,我一生都在享受它的果实,我也希望我的子孙后代也能享受到这棵无花果树的果实。我希望通过我的努力,为后代留下一些美好的东西。 Neighbor: 我听说国王喜欢无花果,并会给予丰厚的回报,所以我偷了老妇人的无花果去献给国王,希望得到金币。但我没有考虑到老妇人种树的真正意义,国王最终决定把奖励给我的曾孙们,这让我感到羞愧。 Rebecca Shear: 故事告诉我们,为后代着想非常重要。我们可以通过种树、回收利用、参加城镇清理活动、捐赠物品等方式来为后代创造更美好的未来。我们也可以有意识地去做一些善事,因为一个善举可能会产生持续多年的连锁反应。
