The Little Oak Tree

Once upon a time, in a beautiful forest, there was a little oak tree named Oliver. Oliver loved feeling the warm sunshine on his leaves and swaying in the gentle breeze.

But one day, a big storm came and blew and blew. The wind was so strong that it blew off Oliver's leaves and acorns. Oliver felt sad and worried.

As the days went by, Oliver noticed that he wasn't the same as the other trees. He didn't have any leaves or acorns like them. But instead of being upset, he decided to focus on what he did have - strong roots and a sturdy trunk.

Oliver realized that even without leaves and acorns, he could still provide shade for the animals in the forest. They would rest under his branches and feel safe. Oliver felt proud of his ability to help others.

One day, a little bird came to Oliver and said, 'Mr. Oak Tree, you are amazing! Even without leaves and acorns, you continue to be strong and kind. You are a true friend.' Oliver felt grateful for the kind words.
