Once upon a time, there was a big, thick tree. It was so big that it could wrap its arms around all the other trees. One day, a little, red bird came to sit on the tree. The bird was sad because it could not find a match to play with.
Then, a small, green bug came to the tree. The bug said, "I will play with you, little bird." The bird was happy, and they played all day long. But the big, thick tree was not happy. The tree wanted to play, too. So, the tree shook and shook, trying to join in the fun.
The little bird and the bug were scared of the tree's shaking. They did not know why the tree was shaking. They thought the tree did not like them. But then, the big, thick tree stopped shaking and said, "I just want to play, too!" The little bird and the bug were surprised. They did not know trees could talk! They all became friends and played together every day. And they all lived happily ever after.
