The tree had been there for many seasons, watching over the creatures of the forest with its kind, knowing eyes.

One day, a little squirrel named Sammy scampered up to the tree and asked, 'Why are you so still and unmoving, Tree?'

Sammy, being young and restless, couldn't understand the tree's words. He continued to play and run around, paying no heed to the tree's wisdom.
