A Book Review

Title : The Caring Tree
Author : Sheikh Hafsan Seylan Abad

This story is about a boy who loves to play around a huge tree everyday. He will climb to the tree top, eat the fruits and take a nap under the shadow. He loves the tree very much and the tree loves to play with him.
Time goes by, the little boy had grown up and he no longer plays with the tree everyday. He tells the tree that he is not a kid anymore and he does not play with trees.
He only comes to visit the tree when he has trouble. The tree is left alone and sad on its own all this while.
The part that I like the most is the ending. It talks about the kid that has grown old and felts tired and weak to go sailing anymore, and at last the tree is glad and smiled with tears.
From this story, I learnt that we must be grateful and thankful to our parents for what we have. Sometimes, we forget that our doing hurts. Let's learn to be grateful before it's too late !
