The boy finds a large, narrow tree in his backyard and carves his name into it. He spends time climbing the tree and sitting under it. A year later, he sees bark on the ground and wonders if he should play on the tree again. When he returns home from school, the tree has fallen down in a storm. Sadly, the boy cries as the tree is removed. He plants a new smaller tree in its place and hopes it will provide happy memories for his kids as well.

2. "Mum do we have to go".
Yes replied the mum "now let's go".
2 hours later, "alright we're here why don't
you go check out the backyard" said my mum
I slowly walked outside looking at all the trees.Then I saw this
really big and narrow tree I ran over to it.

3. I climbed up to the top and in
the tree was carved letters. I
stop and curiously wondered if
someone has been here before
me.The next day I went
outside with a knife and carved
my name in the tree I
remember it being a sunny day
so I sat under the tree

4. I sat there all day sometimes I
climbed to the top.1year later
I woke up and went into the
clean kitchen to have
breakfast. I looked outside at
the tree there was bark on
the ground lots of small lonely
bark that made me wondered
if I should go and play on the
tree.When I get back from
school I said to myself.

5. I arrived back at my old rusty home and
went outside in the direction of the tree
but it wasn't there it was laying on the
ground it was taking up all the space in the
backyard I sprinted inside and told my
mum I started to cry cold, small drips
hitting the ground splash after splash.

6. I was very sad we called a removal
tree company and they took not
only the tree away they also took
the generations with it. So I went
to a garden shop and bought a
tree but not as big and strong. I
planted it right next to the other
tree every day I warted the new
tree

7. When it got taller I let
my kids play on it they
too carved there names
on the tree I thought
back what all the great
times I had with it and I
hope it always stays with
me.
