"A Tree with a Story"

My tree is very tall, and it does not have leaves. My tree is also very old. His roots are very big and you can step on them. His bark is very very  hard, and it is not one bit soft. His branches are thick. His color is gray.

My tree gives food (made from apple) to my community. It gives food to a restaurant that is running out of food. Sometimes it gives food to poor people, or people that are starving and don't have money to pay. Sometimes it even gives it to animals. It gives most of it to the grocery store.

My tree was planted in honor of my cousin's and my grandfather that died in the war. My tree is in front of my father's tomb. Sometimes apples fall from the tree, and they land on father's tomb. The next day the apple wasn't there any more. We think the spirit of my grandfather took it and ate it.

My tree is very relaxing. I can read under it. I can adore nature. I can climb it. But most important of all it brings me good memories.

The point is that my tree is important to me, my family, and all the people that know its history. I love it.
