“What’s the difference?”the farmer said angrily.”If I had planted it near the road,strangers would have stolen the fruit.If I planted it in one of my fields,my neighbours would have come at night and stolen some of the apples.If I had planted it near my house,my own children would have taken the fruit.”

2.When did he plant the apple tree?
