There once was a tree who loved a child. The child came to visit him every day. Collected with the leaves make them into crowns and play king of the forest. He would climb the tree and attached to the branches swayed. Ate the fruits and then, together, trees and children playing hide and seek.
When he was tired, he fell asleep in the shade of the tree, while the branches sang the lullaby.
The boy loved the tree with all his little heart.
And the tree was happy.
But time passed and the child grew.
Now that the baby was large, the tree was often alone.
One day the boy came to the tree and the tree said:
"Come, Boy, climb up my trunk and swing from my branches and eat my fruit and play in my shade and be happy. "
"I am now too big to climb trees and play," said the boy. "I want to buy things and have fun. I want some money. Can you give me some money?".
"I'm sorry!, Replaced the tree," but I have no money. I only leaves and fruit. Take my apples, Boy, and go 'to sell in town. So you will have money and be happy. "
so the boy climbed the tree and gathered all the fruits and carried them away.
And the tree was happy.
But the boy stayed a long time without returning ... And the tree was sad.
Then one day the boy came back, the tree shook with joy and said
"Come, Boy, climb up my trunk and swing from my branches and be happy. "
"I have too much to do and do not have time to climb trees," said the boy. "I want a house to keep me warm," he continued. "I want a wife and children, so I need a home. Can you give me a house?".
"I have a house," said the tree. "My house is the forest, but you may cut my branches and build a house. Then you will be happy."
The boy cut all the branches and carried them away to build a house.
And the tree was happy.
For a long time the child was not. When he returned, the tree was so happy that risucire hardly speak.
"Come, my child," she whispered, "Come play."
"I'm too old and too sad to play," said the boy. I want a boat to escape far from here. You can give me a boat? ".
" Cut my trunk and make a boat, "said the tree." Then you can go and be happy. "
So the boy cut the tree trunk and there was a boat and sailed away.
And the tree was happy ... but not quite.
after a long time, the boy came back again.
"I'm sorry, my child," said the tree, "but it remains nothing more to give you. I have no fruit."
"My teeth are too weak for apples," said the boy.
"I do not have branches," continued the tree, "You can not swing."
"I'm too old to swing on branches," said the boy.
"I do not have the trunk," said the tree. "You can not climb."
"I'm too tired to climb," said the boy.
"I'm sorry," sighed the tree. "I wish I could give you something ... but I have nothing. I'm just an old stump. I regret so much ...".
"I do not need much now," said the child. "Just a quiet place to sit and rest. I feel very tired."
"Well," said the tree, raddizzandosi as he could, "well, an old stump is what it takes to sit down and rest. Come, Boy, sit down. Sit down and rested. "
So did the baby.
And the tree was happy.
This evening sit in a quiet corner and helps your heart to thank all the "trees" of your life.
