1. The Tree
A Summary by Grade 4
This story was a tragedy about a tree that held up the sky and the people
who wanted to protect it. It was set in the rainforest and it showed us both
the past and present.
The main characters were the Great One (who created the earth and
planted the tree), the Guardians (who protected the tree) and the Bad
People (who cut down the tree).
The climax was when the Bad People fought the Guardians. They fought for
a few reasons. Firstly, they didn’t believe that the tree held up the sky. Also,
the Bad People wanted the tree to sell its timber and to use its land for
mining and agriculture. In the end, the Bad People cut down the tree and
the whole world collapsed. The earth was destroyed.
The message was to save trees and care for our planet. It was a warning
that if we keep cutting down trees we will kill our earth.
