One day, a big tree and a little tree stood next to each other. The big tree had lots of leaves, so it made a lot of shade. The little tree had few leaves, so it made a little shade. The little tree was jealous of the big tree.
One hot day, a girl came to play under the trees. She liked to clap her hands and dance. First, she went to the big tree. But the big tree's shade was too dark, and she could not see her hands to clap. So, she went to the little tree.
Under the little tree, the girl could see her hands and clap. She danced and laughed. The big tree was sad and felt jealous of the little tree. The big tree learned that sometimes being little can be good too. The trees became friends, and the girl played under both trees every day.
