Once upon a time there was a tree that stood away from all the other trees.
The tree was high...strong....proud
the tree never fell in love with anyone and never even flowered
the tree never depend on anyone
untill one day a girl showed infront of the tree,and she started talking to the tree.
The Girl:Say Tree...are you alone here?
The Tree:Yes,i'm on my own.
The Girl:and don't you feel empty or never have you ever experienced sadness,fear or lonliness?
The Tree:No,never....i don't need anyone.
The Girl:Oh,How wish to be independent and live alone just like you.
The Girl:i am tired of having heart full of emotions that makes me seem weak.
The Tree:........(the tree starts to slightly feel things after the girl placed her hand on the tree)
The Girl:Can you please teach me how to be just like you?
The Tree:Well now,that is not too hard for me to teach you,just live with me and observe the world around you.
The Girl:Thank you tree, i will do my best.
The Tree:Say girl what would make you come here all alone?
The Girl:I like being with nature it makes me feel comfort and happiness.
The Tree: i wish that i could feel that happiness but i don't know how to feel anything.
The Girl:oh, i can teach you how to feel things,you just have to look inside your soul.
The Girl:you just have to feel the air running through your leaves.
you just have to feel the water drops that fall from you after a rainy day.
you just have to feel the leaves that fall from you untill it rises again more beautiful and full of life
you just have to feel the fruits growing on you untill you decide to give it to the people who need it.
you just have to feel the roots of you expanding to the depth of the earth untill it touches the heart of the world.
you just have to feel the water drops that fall from you after a rainy day.
you just have to feel the leaves that fall from you untill it rises again more beautiful and full of life
you just have to feel the fruits growing on you untill you decide to give it to the people who need it.
you just have to feel the roots of you expanding to the depth of the earth untill it touches the heart of the world.
The Girl:but i still wish to be like you and adapt to loneliness.
The Tree:Well you have to know that not everyone will help you in your path,you have to be independent and adapt to the cruelty of the world, that's why you see me away from the other trees.
The tree:you have to know that you don't need people to care for you,you have to free yourself from people restrictions.
The Girl:Thank you tree,you have taught me to view the world from diffrent prespective.
The Tree:Where are yoy going?
The Girl:Goodbye Tree,you taught me to live on my own,remember?
The Tree:don't go please stay, you have taught me a lot.
And that is the whole story of the tree...Or the tree and the girl,beacause without the girl the tree would'nt have had a story to tell.
