Book of Strange Tales(5)

Xiao Tang walked over to the candy tree and patted the tree. Then she plucked a candy off from the tree.
Faint crying sound could be heard coming from the tree.
Xiao Tang gave the candy to Xin Xin. “Great. You just need to help me to look after the candy tree for the next six days. However, Xin Xin, you need to promise me to do the two things I asked you to do.”
Xin Xin looked puzzled. “What is it? Xiao Tang jiejie?”
“ Well, Xin Xin, First thing, you have to brush your teeth everyday. Second thing is for each day, you are only allowed to pluck four candies from the candy tree. Can you promise to follow to do these two things?

Xin Xin pondered for a while.
“Xin Xin, if you can promise to follow and do these two things without fail, I can let you have the candy tree all to yourself.”
Xiao Tang smiled at her.
Xin Xin looked at Xiao Tang jiejie and was excited about getting to eat candies everyday and having the candy tree for herself too.
Xin Xin nodded her head and promise to follow and do the two things that Xiao Tang asked.
Xiao Tang grinned and looked at Xin Xin. Then she waved goodbye to Xin Xin and walked off.
