A Book of Poems and Stories - Ruth Baker - Bog

Young Tree, for that was his name, had everything he could wish for; plenty of love, warmth and food from the forest he lived in with his older brother and parents. Yet he wanted more than this; he wanted an adventure. He found it difficult to concentrate on the lessons his mother gave him every day. He dreamt of exotic islands and endless beaches, with coconuts growing everywhere. Monkeys befriended him to keep him company, with flocks of birds to talk to all day. One fine day he set forth, pulling up his roots. His steps were light and he was full of hope. Leaves crunched beneath his feet. Even in his determination to face the challenges ahead of him, and which crossed his young mind; the path became more and more difficult. Have you ever wished for an adventure of your very own, then this is the story for you. Read on and see what happens to Young Tree...
