The Tree Stories
Once upon a time there was a tree
All the other trees around him retreat full of respect leaving enough place to him to raise! Why? Because he was an unusual tree. Every leaf of him told a story.
One day the inhabitants of the near village wanted to cut him. They armed themselves with axes, hatchets and knives.
Seeing all these, the leaves become silent and frightened. Only one broke silence and began to tell her story.
Little by little all the leaves began to tell one after the other their stories.
The people forgot their decision and listened to them charmed.
The tree continued to live always because he will never stop telling his story.
"When you haven't an wise man, you must buy him!"
