Lonely & Friendly Tree

by Omid Moneishedi

Overview

In a sunny corner of the Richmond district of San Francisco, there once lay an unused piece of land that transformed into a magical little park centered around a special old tree. This tree, who has stood tall for ages, knows all the birds and animals in the park. One bright morning, the tree was startled by loud noises from a landscaping team, fearing it would be cut down. To its relief, they only cleared the area to build a playground for children.
The tree delighted in the joy and laughter of children playing on the swings, slides, and merry-go-rounds nearby. However, it soon felt lonely as the birds and animals seemed too busy to keep it company. That changed when a tiny, sparkling hummingbird landed on one of its branches. The tree, initially shy, struck up a conversation with the hummingbird, who revealed it had been captured by a man named Jack but escaped by offering him three pieces of life-changing advice.
The hummingbird's cleverness and the tale of its escape entertained the tree. Over the next few days, the two shared stories, laughter, and even composed a playful song about Jack's misadventure. As the hummingbird continued its journey, it promised to return, leaving the tree with cherished memories.
No longer the "lonely tree," the tree became surrounded by new friends. The playground buzzed with children's laughter, and the tree took joy in being their secret hiding spot during games. Each day ended with shared stories and laughter among its new companions. The park, under the watchful eyes of the once lonely tree, became a place of endless stories, friendships, and adventures.
