Tree Tales

Listening to stories of yesteryear reminds us of the reverence we used to have for our children and the standards of comprehension to which they were held.

Shel Silverstein's "The Giving Tree" is the perfectly crafted story. I don't understand how someone could write a children's story that was so perfect. It certainly is the best book about the relationship between man and tree. It is true that trees are wise and are motivated to serve us and love us unconditionally. We should talk to them and thank them for being here for us!
