Title: The Giving Tree
Author: Shel Silverstein
Characters: The Giving Tree, the little boy who grows into a big kid, young man, sad old man and a tired, toothless person.
Setting: The lush wood forest
Plot: The tree loved a little boy who used to come there every day to swing on the branches, climb the trunk and eat apples. Time passed, until the boy grew too old to play. He wanted money, so the tree gave him apples to sell. Again, he went away and came back, only to want a house. The tree gave him her branches to build a house. Once more he came back in need of a boat to sail away. The tree then gives her trunk! It’s not that happy anymore. For the last time he came, now an old man. The tree knows she has nothing to give. But all the boy needs is a place to rest. He sat on the tree to rest. The tree has still her stump to give and so is veeeeerrry happy!
