    A poor farmer had a friend who was famous for the wonderful apples he grew. One day, his friend gave him a young apple tree and told him to take it home and 1 it.

    Seeing the gift, the farmer was very happy, and he thought he would also have a lot of wonderful apples, but when he got home, he felt 2 . He did not know where to plant it. He thought over and over and considered every place he could think of. 3 , he decided to plant the tree in his woods. There were many high trees with thick leaves in the woods. With those trees around ,no one else could see the young apple tree. He even felt proud of himself for finding so secret a place for the apple tree. Every day he went to take care of the tree, watering it. To his surprise and 4 , the apple tree didn't grow as well as he expected.  It died without sunlight and good soil.

    Later the friend asked the farmer why he had planted the tree in such a 5place. "What's the difference?" the farmer said angrily. "If I had planted the tree near the6 , passers-by(行人) would have stolen the fruit. If I had planted the tree in one of my fields, my neighbors would have come at night and 7 some of the apples! If I had planted it near my house, my own children would have taken the fruits. No matter where I plant the tree, I can't have8 to enjoy the apples: So there is no difference where I planted it."

Travelling is not always happy, at least for the buddies in the movie Green Book. The popular film won Best Picture at the 91st Academy Awards on Feb. 25. 

The movie was adapted from the true story of a road trip through the southern US in the early 1960s. In the film, the black pianist Don Shirley hires Italian- American Tony Vallelonga to drive him to performances, but they face problems because of Shirley's skin colour. These problems lead them to form a special friendship. 

"There's something so deeply right about this movie, so true to the time," wrote US film critic Mick LaSalle. The time LaSalle is talking about was between late 1870s and 1960s, a very different period in US history. Many parts of the country had Jim Crow Laws (《吉姆·克劳法》) , which allowed racial segregation (种族隔离) . These laws made life and travel ____ for African- Americans. They couldn't use certain hotels, restaurants, or even gas stations. They had to be indoors after sunset or they might be put into prison. Even black celebrities (名人) had to follow the laws. 

But in 1936, a black mail carrier named Victor H. Green had an idea. He made a list of friendly businesses in New York City. He published the list as a small book with a green cover. The Green Book helped African- Americans travel more safely. Then, in 1964, Jim Crow Lawswent away. The book went away, too. 

Today many US people still remember the time of Jim Crow. But they probably don't know about the Green Book. It's a forgotten part of the story. Thanks to this movie, maybe people can remember it again.
