The cherry tree was the king, and the cherries on the tree were identified by the king as princes, ministers and commoners according to their size and shape. When Wang Sapling slept every day, the kingdom began to work and celebrate, they also have the problem of going to school, but a lot of small cherries do not like learning.

These things, Wang Sapling does not know, he only know to eat cherries.

One day in early spring, the cherry tree was in bloom. Under the flowers were small green cherries. Soon the king shook his body and said, "My dear subjects, now let us perform the ceremony!" Say that finish, the full tree of cherry blossoms dancing with the wind, they shake off the head of the cherry blossoms, became a real cherry, also became the eighth generation of official citizens of the cherry kingdom. The little cherries were very happy.

But Prince Cherry was still sleeping under a leaf. The prince was not for any cherry, but for the biggest and prettiest cherry the king chose from among the little citizens. The little cherry Prince liked to sleep, but the king made him go to school.

Cherry Prince's schoolbag is made of cherry leaves. In addition to the textbook, there are two white ants in it. They are Cherry Prince's best friends. They love the smell of prince. The prince fed them young leaves every day, and they slept in their schoolbags during class.

In fact, the cherry kingdom of the school has only one classroom, on the highest branches of the cherry tree, the small cherry branches stretched here to the class is very hard, because the branches are very tired, such as the class, to stretch the branches back to the original place, so the small cherry do not like to go to school.

The only teacher in the school was a big fat snail. It teaches the little cherries: "If you don't study hard, you will be eaten by Wang Sapling. I saw him do it last year."

The little cherries said: "know - tao -." But they still play every day in the wind, not to read. Slowly, only the prince was left to read. Fortunately, the ant had accompanied the prince, or he would have been lonely.

The teacher placed high hopes on Prince Cherry, often pushing glasses said: "Because you are a prince, so more to learn, which in the world can not read the prince?"

Prince Cherry remembered the teacher's words, every day endure the pain, stretched the branch to the school, because in the high to get more sunlight, it grew better and better.

In August, the wind blew the cherries ripe, all showing a bright red smile.

Wang Sapling came to play every time, only pick those thin and small, just know to play all day small cherry, he said to his father while eating: "Dad, the top of the cherry is too beautiful, I want to keep it, the other cherries are sent to the market."

All the cherries in the cherry kingdom heard it, but it was too late to repent.

Before long, all the other cherries were sold at the market, and only Prince Cherry was left on the tree.

Wang Sapling came to the tree again, put the cherry prince off the hand, kissed it, and then put it into the pool. This is the prince's first bath, it was Wang Sapling rub some itching, can not help laughing. But Wang Sapling could not hear it.

After he washed Prince Cherry clean, he ate it.

Wang Sapling finished eating the cherry Prince and buried the cherry pit next to the cherry tree.

The next year, a cherry sapling grew from the ground. Prince Cherry became a king. He raised his head, looked at his father, and cried, "At last I have my own kingdom. Only, how come the prince was not king?"

The old king said, "My son, in the past few years, the princes did not stretch their branches to the top, because they could not bear the pain of stretching their branches every day, and they wanted to grow at the bottom. As a result, their young master picked them and ate them before they were ripe. So, for seven years, there hasn't been a second kingdom."

Prince Cherry was very happy to see Wang Sapling watering him.

A few white ants climbed up and one of them sniffed at the cherry sapling. It quickly climbed down the tree and called another white ant. They climbed onto the cherry tree and said, "Prince, you still smell so good. If you have a worm, we will help you catch it!"

When the wind came, the little Cherry King and the two white ants danced happily. They were still good friends.
