It Once Happened on Tu BiShvat…
The following story is inspired by the book “The Giving Tree” by Shel Silverstein. It has
been adapted to reflect our current world.
Once there was a tree, and she loved a little boy. And every day the boy would come
and play in her leaves, and climb her trunk and swing from her branches, and eat from
her apples. And they would play hide-and-seek. And when he was tired he would sleep
in her shade. The boy loved the tree very much, and the tree was happy. But time went
by. And the boy grew older. And the boy was given his first smartphone. And the boy
loved to play games with his friends on his phone and his tablet and his video game
console.
