A Little Boy’s Reflection on a Tree Stump

January 16, 2012



Little Boy Looking at Tree Stump:
What happened to the tree?
Me: Maybe the tree was sick, so they had to cut it down.

Boy:
What happened to the tree?
Me: Well…maybe the people in that house wanted more sun, so they cut the tree down and had someone take it away.

Boy:
What happened to the tree?
Me: Ummm…maybe it got blown down in a storm.

Boy:
What happened to the tree?
Me: Welllll. Ummmm. Hmm. Maybe the tree was about to fall down onto the people’s house, so they had someone come and cut it down and take it away.

Boy:
What happened to the tree?
Me: I don’t know.

(Then)

Me:
What do you think happened to the tree?
Boy: (Holding a little rubber airplane, zooming it through the air) My airplane flew into it and knocked it down!
