Shel Silverstein Quote
And after a long time the boy came back again. I am sorry, Boy, said the tree, but I have nothing left to give you- My apples are gone. My teeth are too weak for apples, 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 an old stump. I am sorry...I don't need very much now, said the boy, just a quiet pleace 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 a good for sitting and resting. Come, Boy, sit down. Sit down and rest.And the boy did.And the tree was happy.
