Once upon a time, in a far away land, there was a thin tree. The tree was very wise and could answer any question. Many people came to the tree to ask for wisdom.
One day, a little boy named Tim came to the tree. He was sad because he did not know how to tie his shoe. He asked the tree, "Can you help me tie my shoe?" The tree answered, "Yes, I can help you. First, make a loop. Then, make another loop. Finally, put one loop through the other loop and pull tight."
Tim did what the tree said and tied his shoe. He was very happy and thanked the tree for its wisdom. From that day on, Tim and the thin tree became good friends. They would talk and play together every day. And the tree always had an answer for Tim's questions, helping him learn new things.
