Walking Tree

There is a young tree "living" near a field. Every evening, a lot of animals come to the field and play together. They play hide-and-seek, jumping-rope, catch-the-demon, etc. The tree always wishes that he can walk and join them for the games.

One night, a fairy passing by the tree. The tree immediately stops the fairy, "Can I make a wish from you?"

"Yes, you may."

The tree wishes for walking ability.

The next day, the tree can walk around with his roots. He is now very happy, he walks to the river to drink a lot of water as it has not been raining for a few days. He then walks into the jungle to say hi to other trees.

However, the other trees don't feel want to be friends with him.

"You are not one of us, go away!"

The walking tree feels sad, "Never mind, I can play with animals."

So the tree goes to the field to play with animals. The animals are shocked and scared to see a walking tree. The animals pick up some stones and throw at the tree and ask him to go away.

The tree is really lonely now, he has no friends. Suddenly he sees a mummy bird flies to him, and carries away all the baby birds from the bird nest.

"Where are you going? You have been staying with me for few months. Don't leave!" begs the tree.

The mummy bird says, "I can't stay on a walking tree. I'm afraid after going out to search for food, you will walk away to other place that I can't find my way home. Bye bye!"
