event, Listener

An event source (like a button) creates an event object when the
user does something that matters (like clickthe button) . Most
of the code you write (and all the code in this book) will receive
events rather than create events. In other words, you'lJ spend
most of your time as an event listenerrather than an event source.
Every event type has a matching listener interface. If you want
MouseEvents, implement the MouseListener interface.

An event is clicking the mouse? or button itself?

May you show me by code which one is listener and which one is event?

Please clarify your question a bit ;) we will see what you really mean.

Edit : i misread your message

and a typo

The Listener responds to an Event.

The Event is created by the framework for you.

Some Events can be "faked", but for almost all usage, using the ones instantiated
in response to the user activity within a Listener will satisfy your needs.

I click then button, this is event,Now framework create event?

The framework senses the action of clicking the button and generates the event
