El árbol generoso (The Giving Tree)

by Shel Silverstein, Carla Pardo Valle

Overview

A boy swings in the branches of his favorite tree when he is very young. Later, as an adult, he uses the same branches to build a house and the tree's trunk to build a ship. Many years pass and the faithful tree fears she will never again see the boy, but he returns as an elderly man to be with his old friend.
