The Talking tree1

Once upon a time, there was a king who owned all the things in the world. One day, a wise man came to tell him, “You are missing the best things of all – a talking tree”. “Where was it?” The king asked. The wise man said, east of here, I can’t remember exactly where. The king decided he must  find the talking tree. It maybe some jewel on it.

So the next day, the king went to the east. He travelled for days until he got there. He heard a sad voice say: I waited and waited to be saved by someone who’s kind bold and brave. The king looked around and everything was silent. Had he dreamt it? Just then, he notice a beautiful tree with elegant and curving branches, and it said: I waited and waited to be saved by someone who’s kind bold and brave. The king asked,” how can you speak? “”I was a princess. “said the tree sadly. “I was out riding when I stopped to have a sip, then a wicked witch cursed me.””How can I save you?””“You should break the witch”. Then the witch came. The king quickly hided behind the tree. 

When the witch appeared, she asked, who were you talking to just now? The tree answered,”Myself”. The witch said ” I see his footprint.” The tree said, the footprint is yours.
