Book Review:

The story is about a boy and a caring tree. Everyday, he would come to play with the tree happily. He would climb the tree and eat the fruits. The boy and tree liked each other. As he grew up, he didn't want to play with the tree because he wanted to play with toys. The tree offered him to take it's fruits to sell and get money. For quite some time, the boy did not come back to visit the tree. The next time the boy came back, he asked the tree for something else. He asked the tree for something to build a house and the tree gave him it's branches. The next thing he asked for was the tree's trunk to build a boat. At last, when the boy was was old and wrinkly, he went back to the tree. The tree told him that I have nothing for you. Although the man was always asking for more, the tree welcomed him back.

The part that I like the most in the story is when the tree welcomed him back although the boy repeatedly asked the tree for something each time he came back.

I learned that we should not only seek a friend when we require their help. We should always keep in touch with them, regardless of the fact that we need something from them. Besides, I learned that we should always help out a friend in need.
