apple-trees wherever he (go). But once, on a bitter winter day,
he (catch) a cold and (fall) ill. Fortunately, some Indians who
(know) John for a long time (save) him.
Then, one day, John Chapman (open) his eyes and (see) the
people who (save) him. After he completely (recover), he (go)
out into the fields where the snow already (melt). For many
years after that he (go) on planting wonderful trees wherever
he (can). He always (sleep) in the open-air, (cook) simple food
and (make) friends with animals, as he (learn) their language
when he (be) a boy. He (be) sure that if man and nature (live) in
harmony, it (make) the world better, much better. The natives
(love) and (respect) John Chapman as the man who all his life
(try) (make) their countryside rich with beautiful trees and
plants.​
