How the Apple Tree Came to Be
The Apple Tree was planted at the Saito Family's apple orchard.
It was a way to celebrate the marriage of Shozo Saito and Ine Saito.
From that day on, the tree was cared for with a lot of love by the couple.
The Battle Against the Storm
A few years ago, a big storm came and broke the trunk of the Apple Tree.
Even though things looked bad, Shozo and Ine did not give up.
They worked hard together, and their efforts helped the tree survive.
A Golden Gift
The Apple Tree could hear Shozo’s feelings for Ine.
Feeling grateful to the couple for all the care, the tree wanted to give something back.
It used all its strength to grow one golden apple.
The tree offered this apple to Shozo and Ine.
Magic and Farewell
When the couple ate the golden apple, a miracle happened.
Shozo and Ine became young again.
The Apple Tree was very happy to see them smile.
After that, it quietly came to the end of its life, having given its best gift.
