  1. The Giving Tree

  2. Once there was a tree who loved a little boy.

  3. Every day the boy would come and gather her leaves.

  4. He would climb up her trunk and swing from her branches.

  5. And they would play hide – and – go – seek.

  6. And when he was tired, he would sleep in her shade.

  7. The boy loved the tree very much and the tree was happy.

  8. But time went by and the boy grew older. And the tree was often alone.

  9. Then one day the boy went to the tree and asked if she could give him some money.

  10. “I’m sorry,” said the tree, “but I have no money, I have only leaves and apples. Take my apples and sell them in the city.

  11. The boy stayed away for a long time and when he came back he asked the tree for a house to keep him warm.

  12. “I have no house, said the tree. “The forest is my house, but you may cut off my branches and build a house. Then you will be happy.”

  13. The boy stayed away for a long time and when he came back he asked the tree for a boat. The tree told him to cut down her trunk and make a boat, then he will be happy.

  14. And so the boy cut down her trunk and made a boat and sailed away. And the tree was happy. But not really.

  15. And after a long time the boy came back. The tree had nothing to give the boy as she was just an old stump.

  16. “I don’t need very much now,” said the boy, “just a quiet place to sit and rest, I am very tired.” “Well, an old stump is good for sitting and resting, said the tree. “Come, Boy, sit down and rest.”

  17. And the tree was happy. The End
