Celebration Of Trees


            There is a tree, it is a golden birch tree. This tree is in the middle of nowhere. Most people who live in the town next to the tree will go to this specific tree. There the tree has been for over 100 years. It is known as the tree of lost souls, because whenever someone goes they can hear a cry for help if a person has been forgotten. One girl goes to visit the tree everyday, but one day she noticed something strange on the leaves. She took a leaf of the tree and saw what was written on it, it was a person's name. The name sounded familiar so that night she took the leaf to her mother and her mother knew the person. Her mother said it was an old friend that had passed away when she was young. The next day the little girl went back to the tree and brought a ladder. She saw that all the leaves had names written on them, but the one she had picked off, the name disappeared and a different one arrived. She learned that they were the lost souls and that she needed to put their names out there, and so she did. She got millions of people to remember the ones they have forgotten even if they have never meant them, but have just read stories. Then one day there wasn't any names left on the tree and the next day the tree bloomed and shined brighter than the sun with happiness.

  • Fame Can Mean Something Else


            It’s wonderful to dream about being famous, because we think it will be sunshine and rainbows, but it’s really not. You always have people judging you on everything you do, even as little as something you ate.
