Once there was a tree, and she loved a little boy. Every day the boy would come, and play with the tree. So one day the tree was waiting for the boy to play with her when she said:
“Why should I love this kid? What has he done for me?” The next day the boy came to see the tree. And the tree was not happy. The tree said that if they were going to be friends the boy had to give her something. So the boy gave her a toy. And the tree was happy.
The next day the boy came over to play, and the tree said that if they were going to be friends the boy had to give her his FAVORITE toy. And the boy loved the tree and did it. And the tree was happy.
The next day the boy came over to play and the tree said that if we were going to be friends the boy had to give her ALL his toys. And the boy loved the tree and did it. And the tree was happy.
The next day the boy came over to play and the tree said that if we were going to be friends the boy had to give her everything he had. And the boy loved the tree and did it. And the tree was happy. Very happy. But the boy was sad.
The next day there was a fire in the forest. The kid came to play, and when the tree saw the kid the tree yelled “Help! Help!” but the kid was scared and did not love the tree. So he fled. And the tree burned down along with all the toys.
