Aaron and A Moonlight Spirit

Once upon a time, there lived a man and his mother. The mans name was Aaron. He and his mother lived alone in the middle of a jungle at a tiny hut. Every day, he hunted animals and sold it to the town, while his mother stayed at home because of the mysterious illness which had been years inside her body. One day, when he was selling animals in the town, he saw a black tent with a sign written on it: Come inside, and Ill show you the cure for every illness in the world. He immediately thought about his mothers illness. Should I come to the tent? Maybe theres someone inside the tent who knows how to cure my mother. Finally, he decided to enter the tent. He closed his store. He packed his stuffs and walked towards the tent. The condition inside the tent was almost pitched black, there was only light of a candle that lighten up the room for a bit. He saw an old man sat before a table. I know what youre going to say. Come, sit in front of me, said the old man suddenly. You can call me Stu, said the old man. Alright Stu, my name is Aaron. And... Umm... Can you help me about... Your mother? Stu cut him. Yes, she has been cursed by an evil witch. I have the cure, but one thing, Im out of Moonlight spirit. What is that? asked Aaron. I cant get the Moonlight spirit. You must find it yourself. You can find it inside the Tororo Jungle. Thats my home! Really? So, the Moonlight spirit is carried by a Moonlight spirit. You must find the Moonlight spirit and ask for her half spirit and after that just put the Moonlight spirit inside this bottle and drink this to your mother. That will cure her. I promise. Soon after hed talked to Stu, he ran home. He told her mother that he had the cure for her mysterious illness. He said that he would find the last ingredient, Moonlight Spirit and he promised to come before a week. Next morning, he left the house and her mother. He walked around the jungle. Deeper and deeper. But he saw no one. After 5 days walking without any result, he stopped. He started to fell exhausted and thought to give up. When he was resting under a big tree, he heard a laughing voice of a woman. He searched and found a beautiful woman was laughing so happily with animals around her. He kept hiding and suddenly he admired the woman. Her pretty face, her black hair, her laughing, how she communicated with the animals. He liked it all. He fell in love with her. Apparently, the woman knew that she was being spied by someone. She looked behind the tree and found a handsome man. She was shocked, and so was the man. I know you, said the woman. Im Tina. I... Im Aaron, said Aaron. Howd you know me? Ive been watching you lately wandering around the jungle. Come one, come to my house, you look terrible.

Aaron completely forgot about the Moonlight spirit. He stayed in Tinas house for couple days. She treated him well. She always made delicious meals, prepared him hot water for bathing, told him funny things... The more he saw, the more beautiful she became, she was like goddess... He totally bewitched by her. On the 6th day of his journey, he decided to confess to her. It was shiny and the flowers were blossom. Tina was at the backyard, feeding animals. Hi Tina! said Aaron cheerfully. Hi! Whats up? You look really happy. Umm... I want to tell you something. Uhum, whats that? Tina stood up and took a position in front of Aaron. I like you, Tina. Since the first day I saw you. Im in love with you. Said him straightly. Tina was shocked. No, you cant love me Aaron. But I know you like me too, Tina. If not, why would you take care of me so kindly? Serving me good meals, sewing me clothes, and letting me stay at your house without asking me when I will go out from here! Said Aaron emotionally. Listen Aaron, I am a Moonlight spirit. What... Aaron immediately remembered his mother. My mother... Yes, your mother needs me. And I allow you to take my last soul. Your last soul? You mean you will die if I take your soul? No. I cant. I wont. Ill search another Moonlight spirit. Your mother will die by tomorrow and its not easy to convice a spirit to give her half soul. You must take my soul now or your mother will die. No, I love you. I will not kill you. Aaron, you are a good man. You could find another love, but you couldnt find another mother. She is your only mother. Tina gave her last soul to Aaron. As she disappeared, there was a sound saying I like you Aaron, youre a good man. Aaron gave the cure to his mother exactly before midnight. After that, he cried. He cried because his mother was finally healthy but hed lost his love. Maybe its hard, but we must put or parents first than anyone else, even our love. Because we could find another love, but we couldnt find another parents.

A Boy and an Apple Tree One time, there lived a big apple tree and a boy who liked to play around under the apple tree everyday. He was happy to climb up to the top of the tree, eat the fruit, a nap in the shade of the shade leaves. The boy loved the apple tree. Similarly, the apple tree is very love little boy too. Time flies. The boy had grown big and no longer playing with the apple tree every day. One day he went to the apple tree. His face looked sad. Come over here and play with me, said the apple tree. Im not a little kid playing with the tree again, replied the boy. I want to have toys, but Im not having money to buy it. The tree replied, Sorry, but I did not have money but you can take all of my fruit and sell it. You can get the money to buy toys. The boy was very happy. He grabbed all the apples on the tree and left happily. However, after that the boy never came back. The tree was sad again. One day the boy returned again. Tree was so excited. Come play with me anymore, said the apple tree. I do not have the time, replied the boy. I have to work for my family. We need a house for shelter. Will you help me? Sorry, but I dont have a house. But you can cut down all of my branches to build your house, said the apple tree. Then the boy cut all of the branches and twigs that apple tree and left happily. The tree was also felt happy to see the boy happy, but the boy never came back again. The tree was lonely and sad again. One hot summer day, the boy returned again. The tree was delighted. Come and play again with me, the tree said. Im sad, said the boy. Im old and want to live in peace. I want to go on vacation and sailing. Will you give me a boat to cruise? Sorry, but I dont have a boat, but you may cut my trunk and use it to create a ship that you want. Go sailing and have fun. Later, the boy cut the tree trunk and makes a dream ship. He then went sailing and never again came to the apple tree. Finally, the boy returned again after all these years later.

Im sorry my son, said the apple tree. I do not have apple for you anymore. Its okay. I also have no teeth to bite your fruit, replied the boy. I dont have a trunk and branches you can climb, said the apple tree. Now, Im too old for that, replied the boy. I really do not have anything more can I give to you. What remains is my roots old and dying, said the apple tree with tears. I do not need anything else right now, said the boy. I just need a place to rest. I was so tired after all these years. Oooh, very nice. Do you know? The root of old trees is the best place to lie down and rest. Come, lay in the arms of my roots and rest in peace. The boy lay in the arms of tree roots. The tree was glad and smiled with tears in his eyes
