The Synopsis...




This book is about a boy and a loving tree. Everyday, the boy would play with the tree. He climbed to the treetop, ate the fruits and took a nap. The boy loved the tree very much and so did the tree.
As time passed by, the boy grew older and older. He did not want to play with the tree anymore. He told the tree that he was to old to play with trees. He wanted toys. The tree told him that it did not have any toys to give the boy but he told the boy that he could take its fruits and sell them at the market. Immediately, the boy plucked the fruits and went away without thanking the tree. The boy did not come to visit the tree for a very long time. One day, the boy came back. The tree was happy to see the boy. The tree asked the boy to play with him but the boy told him that he did not have time to play with the tree. He told the tree that he needed wood to build a house for his family. The tree offered his branches to the boy. The boy immediately cut off the tree's branches and went away. The tree felt very lonely. The boy was not seen for a long very long time until one day, the boy came back. This time, he wanted the tree' trunk to build a boat for himself. Again, the tree gave his trunk to the boy. The boy went away without even saying thank you nor goodbye. After a long period of time, the boy came back. But he was no longer the boy whom the tree knew. He was an old man. The tree told him that he had no more fruits nor branches nor a trunk. He only old roots that was dying. The old man told him that he did not want anything from the tree. He just wanted to spend some time with the tree.
