The Man Who Loved Trees
NATURE SUBMISSION:
There once was a boy who loved trees. He frequently played in the woods near his village, until one day all the trees were gone.
He decided to plant a new tree every day. His friends laughed at him, insisting that one person couldn't make a difference. But he was determined. Many years passed, and the number of trees he'd planted grew into the thousands. An entire forest existed thanks to his efforts.
Then the hurricane came. All his trees were wiped out in a single night.
The morning after the storm, the man woke up and planted a tree.
