Once, there lived an old flame tree with the young one. They lived in the land near the campus. Their flower were made the view looked beautiful.
At that moment, there was a little child named Precious, a son of ministry of forest in that country, who always sit under it and talked to it. Pretended that it could hear him. However, in fact, the tree really could hear him though couldn’t talk back.
One day, there was a shocking news that the land where they lived would be used to built new building. It meant that all of trees there had to be cut off. Though it didn’t appropriate to the young, but it was really sad and moreover, it felt mad. It was really sad till looked wilted. It remembered the last thing the old said to it, the old said, “ Don’t be sad...all in this world, will be died, sooner or later...just make our life not only by what we do..but by what we give.”
The young still couldn’t understand what the human really wanted, they destroyed anything just for their own affair.
In the next day, Precious came to and sit under it liked usual. He felt that the young was really wilted and almost died. He didn’t want to loose it, his beloved tree. He thought and thought, and tried to understand it by pretending as a tree. “What are really i feel if i become a tree?” said him in his heart. Then....he found something..when he tried to relate anything which were recently happened. He smiled and talked to it, “ well, my dear...i know what you felt,,don’t worry, i’ll try to talk to my parents..to not cut off trees anymore. Yeah..if there an institution which fight to save the animals, why not for trees?”. Then he went to told about it to his parents.
Fiew days after, there was rules that no one allowed to cut off tree without any permission. Precious liked usual sit and talked to it, “ you see....now you have to be fresh..don’t be wilted.” Since that time, the young always looked fresh and promised to give anything that it could give to the world.
