The Four Trees

Once upon a time in a land not too far away,

four trees started to grow on top of a small hill

Three of the trees are very selfish,

arrogant and proud trees always boasting

how big and tall they will become, teasing

each other how they will live forever.

The fourth tree is all happy and

content, just to be a tree.

As time passes the three proud and

selfish trees spend all their days growing

as tall and impressive as they can,

boasting each and every day how

wonderful they will be

The fourth tree listens but is all happy

and content, just to be a tree.

Many years pass and the three trees all.
