The Tree

There is a tree in the woods that stands tall and beautiful.

The tree is happy it  sits in the beautiful part of the woods where the sun always hits it and the moon always shines on it and its leaves are silver and gold .

but one day people started to walk past it and saw its beautiful leaves and started to take them  the tree did not mind becuse it had so meany and it was happy to help the humans .

Days and weeks went by with people taking all the leaves from the tree and then one day there were no more leaves to take .

The tree didnt mind haveing no more leaves it was happy to help but it was always cold no longer protected by the harsh rain and wind and snow that came once in a while .


The people came to look at the tree and they all started to talk and say this tree is no longer has beautiful leaves its now ugly.

The tree listend to the humans talking and started to feel sad.

Then one day a wood cutter came and said since you no longer have silver and gold leaves you will make good fire wood.

So the wood cutter climed the tree and started to cut the trees branches off .

People gathred and saw what the wood cutter was doing and they too grabs there axes and laders and climed the tree and cut off its brances too .

After all the trees leaves and brances were gone and the people left the tree started to cry.

It cried and it cried knowing that no one cared how it felt but it was happy to help the humans but the tree knew it was suffring .

Then one day the tree decited to die  it stoped drinking the water that the rain brought it stoped eating the sunlight.

The tree started to wither its bark started to fall off the tree did not care any more .

After months and months of not drinking and not eating  the tree fell to the ground .


The tree cried tears of joy as it relized it would not have to suffer anymore  no one cared for the tree they only wanted it for what it had and what it could give them.

The tree thought of the people who took her silver and gold leaves and wondered if they are living rich and happy , She thought about the people who cut her branches for fire wood and wonder if they will be warm this winter .  

The tree was not angry or upset about the people takeing those things from her infact the tree was happy to help but not a single person who took thoes from her relised just how much the tree gave up for them to be happy.

The tree cried its last tear and then it died .  Not a single person ever came back into the woods agan to look for the tree they all said to echother the tree has nothing left why should we go back .


The spot where the tree once was is empty and dead the sun and the rain dont even  touch that spot anymore the beautiful tree with silver and gold leaves will never be seen again .......
