BR 2-03: The Baobab Tree

“ No one has ever heard the Baobab tree say another world.” ( p.22).

A long, long, long, long, time ago, some angry gods for a talking tree made the world. One day, they made a talking tree, and they called it the Baobab tree. The tree talked a lot. It was always talking. Even it was hot day, cold day, and he was thirsty, he talked to itself. Gods was angry, and then they grew a forest, but the baobab tree was fed up. The gods made tree with flower and fruit. But, the Baobab tree never stopped talking. Then gods was really angry. Finally, they cried “Stop!!!!!”. They grabbed the Baobab tree and turned it upside down. He couldn’t open his mouth to talk.

I think this story is very sad. And then I thought gods want to give even plants their lives. But, at the same time, gods never take their lives by force. Almost country respect gods, so if gods betray us, who we should believe? I don’t know, and we don’t know. I love this tree because that is charming. All the time, he is talking. If I have a friend like this, I think it is really fun. If you want to get charm like it, I recommend to read it.
