Answer 1

The boy asked for apples from the tree and the tree provided them for him.

Step-by-step explanation:

The first thing that the boy asked for from the tree was apples. The tree provided its apples for the boy. This is evident in the story as it states, "Go to my brother who grows beneath the Student's window, and perhaps he will give you what you want." The tree's brother represents an apple tree, and the apples are given to the boy to fulfill his request.
