My book review is about a story entitled "The Caring Tree".

"The Caring Tree" was written by Sheikh Hassan Seylan Abad.

The two main characters are the caring tree and the boy. The story is about a little boy that loved to play around the tree everyday. As the years passed, he grew older. He's no longer a little by but he is now a teenager and doesn't like playing with the tree. One day, he came by the tree. He wanted money to buy toys. The tree gladly let him pluck all its fruits to sell in the market. Now, the little boy who has turned into a teenager is a young man. He came back to the tree, not to play but to build a house. The tree let the boy chop all of his branches to build a house to support his wife and children The boy is now quite old. He came to the tree to ask for a boat to relax in the wide seas. As the tree loved the boy so much, he decided to let him cut of his trunk to build his boat. The boy left with a smile on his face and went sailing. He never showed up for many years. He came back to the tree after a long time. Before he could ask for anything, the tree said there is nothing left to give him, except for his dying roots. The boy who is now an old man with many wrinkles sat down, leaning on the dying roots as he only wanted to rest in peace. The tree was glad and smiled with tears of joy.

In this story, the tree symbolizes our parents. We must appreciate them as they were the ones who brought us to the world. Without our parents, we wouldn't even be here.
