THE GIVING TREE
Fr. Benigno P. Beltran, SVD
Once there was a tree... and she loved a little boy. And everyday the boy would gather
her leaves, make them into a crown and play king of the forest. The boy would also play hide
and seek, climb her branches and eat her mangoes. At the end of the day when he was tired,
the boy would sleep in her shade. And the boy loved the tree...very much... and the tree was
very happy.
But the time went on... and the boy grew older. And the tree was often alone. Then one
day the boy went to the tree who said: "Come, boy, come and climb up my trunk, swi from
my branches, eat my mangoes, play in the shade and be happy."
But the boy stayed away for a long time...Then one day the boy came back to the tree
who shook with joy and said: "Come, boy, come and climb up my trunk, seeing from my
branches, eat my mangoes, play in the shade and be happy. "I am too busy to climb trees". Said
the boy. "I want a house to keep me warm." "I want a wife and children and so I need a house.
Can you give me a house?" "I have no house, "said the tree, "The forest is my house, but you
may cut off my branches and build a house." And so the boy cut off her branches and carried
them away to build his house. And the tree was happy.

Transcribed Image Text:But the boy stayed away for a long time...Then one day the boy came back and the tree
was so happy that she could barely speak. "Come boy, "she whispered, "come and play. "I am
too old to play." Said the boy. "I want a boat that will take me far away from her. Can you give
me a boat" "Cut Down my trunk and make a boat," said the tree. "Then you can sail away... and
be happy". And so the boy cut down the trunk and made a boat and sailed away. And the tree
was happy...but not really.
And after a time, the boy came back again. "I am sorry, boy." Said the tree. "but I have
nothing left to give you... my mangoes are gone." My teeth are too weak for mangoes" said the
boy."My branches are gone." Said the tree. " You cannot swing on them." I am too old to swing
on branches." Said the boy."My trunk is gone," said the tree."You cannot climb." "I am too tired
to climb," said the boy. "I am sorry," sighed the tree. "I wish that I could give you something...
but I have nothing left. I am just an old stump. I am sorry". "I don't need very much now," said
by, "Just a quiet place to sit and rest. I am very tired." "Well" said the tree, straightening
herself up as much as she could, well, an old stump is good for sitting and resting. Come, boy,
sit down and rest." And the boy did and the tree was happy.
