THE GIVING TREE
Storyboard Text
- "I am too big to climb and play. I want to buy things and have fun. I want some money?"
- "Come, Boy, come and climb up my trunk and swing from my branches and eat apples and play in my shade and be happy."
- "I'm sorry," said the tree, "but I have no money. I have only leaves and apples. Take my apples, Boy, and sell them in the city. Then you will have money and you will be happy."
- Once there was a tree..and she loved a little boy. Every day the boy would come and he would gather her leaves and make them into crowns and play king of the forest. He would climb up her trunk and swing from her branches and eat apples. And they would play hide-and-go-seek. And when he was tired, he would sleep in her shade. And the boy loved the tree..very much . The tree was happy.
- "I am too busy to climb trees, I want a house to keep me warm, I want a wife and I want children, and so I need a house. Can you give me a house ?"
- " I have no house," The forest is my house, but you may cut off my branches and build a house. Then you will be happy."
- "Come, Boy, climb up my trunk and swing from my branches and be happy."
- But time went by. And the boy grew older. And the tree was often alone. Then one day the boy came to the tree .
- And so the boy climbed up the tree and gathered her apples and carried them away. And the tree was happy.
- "I am too old and sad to play, I want a boat that will take me far away from here. Can you give me a boat?"
- "Cut down my trunk and make a boat,Then you can sail away... and be happy."
- "Come, Boy," Come and play."
- But the boy stayed away for a long time.... and the tree was sad. And then one day the boy came back and the tree shook with joy.
- And so the boy cut off her branches and carried them away to build his house. And the tree was happy.
- But the boy stayed away for a long time. And when he came back, the tree was so happy she could hardly speak.
