The tree provides many things to a child throughout his life. From branches to apples to its own trunk. At each stage, the tree is happy to provide everything it has to fullfill the needs of the child. Have you ever thought a tree can provide so much without asking for anything at all? The selflessness of the tree is amazing!

This book, while beautifully written, leaves me with a deep sense of sadness. The tree gives everything while not asking for nothing. I think only our parents can give us the unconditional love that the tree shows for the boy. As a parent myself, I can say that providing my children with everything they need is one of my most fulfilling deeds.
