Reseña del libro "潘迪的苹果树 Pandi's Apple Tree (Learning Chinese)"
"Pandi's Mum gave Pandi a magic apple seed and asked him to plant an apple tree in their bamboo forest while she was away for a few days. Though Pandi did not believe that it would work, he did as he was told. To Pandi's surprise, the apple seed really grew into a beautiful apple tree after a few days. He was very excited and called the tree Pingping. He loved Pingping very much. This upset the bamboos in the forest so they started saying harsh things to Pingping. Poor Pingping felt lonely and sad. Fortunately, after the birds had eaten Pingping's apples, the seeds dropped down into the soil and grew into many apple trees which kept her company and made her very happy. The next day, two men came into the forest and wanted to cut down the bamboos, but the bamboos managed to avoid being destroyed because of the apple trees being there. So the bamboos and the apples trees became good friends. Afterwards the soil in the forest became even more fertile! " This book is written in simplified Chinese with Mandarin Pinyin above the Chinese characters and its English translation below.
