WELCOME Once in awhile, right in the middle of an ordinary life, love gives us a fairy tale. What the heart gives away its never gone but kept in the hearts of the others. To truly love another means to let go of all expectations and having full acceptance. In melody divine, my heart beats to rapturous love to call you mine ღ Profile Viewing ♥

 [The Tree & The Child] Once there was a tree, she love the little boy a lot. Everyday, the child will run to her and collect will leaves; weaving the leaves into a crown, turning himself to be the king of the forest. The child will climb onto the tree trunk clenching the branches swinging while eating the apples. The tree will play hide-and-seek with the child; after getting tired, the little boy will sleep under her shades. The little boy love the tree, adorably the tree is glad. As time passes, the little boy starts growing up; the tree felt lonely. One day, the boy came to the tree, and the tree said, " Come, child, climb my trunks; clench my branches to swing and eat those apples, play under my shades happily. " " I am no longer a little boy, I do not want to climb the tree nor play" The boy said, " I want to buy things to play, I want money, Can you give me some? " " I am sorry," said the tree; " I have no money. All I have is my leaves and apples. Child take my apples into the city to sell. In this way, you will have money, and you will feel happy." So the boy climbed up the tree, plucking down all her apples; bringing all the apples away... The tree is happy. The boy did not return for a long long time, the tree felt sad... Then the boy came back, the tree is so excited till she tremble; she said, " Come, child, Climb and swing on me happily." " I am too busy, I have no time to climb trees and play." " I need a house," said the boy; " I want a warm house, I want a wife and children, so I need a house; Can you give me a house ?" The tree spoke, " I do not have a house, the forest is my house; you can chop down my branches and use them to build a house and you will be happy..." Thus, the boy chop down her branches and took them to build a house. The tree is happy; but the boy did not return... There is once that the boy returned, the tree is so happy that she turned speechless, " Come, child,"gently she spoke, "Come and play" "I am old and sad, I cannot play anymore." the boy said, " I want a boat, that can carry me away from this place, Can you give me a boat ?" " Take down my trunk and make a boat! In this way you can travel far into the ocean and you will be happy." spoke the tree. So once again the boy cut down the trunk and made it into a boat, boarding the boat and left. The tree felt happy but that was fake.... Not long after, the boy returned... " I am sorry, child," said the tree, " I have nothing left for you, my apples are gone." " My teeth can't bite anymore" said the boy. " I have no more branches for you to swing, child" said the tree. " I am too old, there is no way I could swing" " I have no more trunks for you to climb" " I am too tired and I cannot climb" " I really hope to give you something, but I have nothing left. All I am left with is a dried log root... I am sorry" " I do not need anything much, " the boy said, " all I need is a quiet place where is can rest. I am really really tired...." " Good! " the tree tried hard to straighten herself as she spoke, " Here, this old log root is just the most suitable place to rest... Come, my child.. Come and have a sit and rest by me." The boy sat down..... This time the tree is fully relieved and contented...... After that sermon this thought as below came into my mind: Moral of the story, we always take things for granted Most of the time or never have we thought about the things happening around us Like our parents or close friend, we take their existence for granted So why not try this.... When you see someone that really cares for you Someone who is most willing to sacrifice for you Give them a hug or a word of encouragement when they need it Or even a simple kiss on the face It will tell them clearly that you treasure them very much.....
