Here is my layout for the
journaling challenge found here!
Journaling:
A boy found a tree once.
"Oh Tree!" He said.
"You are the most beautiful tree I have ever seen!"
She smiled and her leaves shuddered with surprise.
"Will you give me your heart and I will give you mine?"
But the Tree was fearful for she had been hurt before.
"I will give you my best leaf!" And she dropped her favorite
leaf.
The boy watched as it fell and looked at it as it laid on the ground
and wrinkled his nose. "Thank you," he said politely, "it is a lovely
leaf." And he went home. The next day, the boy came and stood by
the tree and the leaf.
"Oh Tree! You are the most beautiful tree I have ever seen! Will you
give me your heart today?"
The tree thought and thought and finally smiled. She then dropped a
whole bunch of leaves at his feet and stood proud.
He looked at the leaves for a moment and smiled a bit. "Those are lovely
leaves, thank you." He then went home and the tree drooped a bit.
The next day, the boy came back and stood between the leaves in front
of the tree.
"Oh Tree, you are the most beautiful I have ever seen! Will you give me
your heart today?"
The tree thought and thought and thought then finally shivered and dropped a branch. The boy looked at the branch and sighed and went back home.
The next day the boy came back and looked up.
"Oh Tree! You are the most beautiful tree I have ever seen, I have brought my heart in my hand every day and yet you still do not give me yours!"
The tree drooped sadly and sighed.
"I have given you my best leaf, yet you did not want it. I gave you a pile of my leaves, yet they were not good enough for you. I gave you my best branch, yet it was not exactly what you wanted. Each of these if you look closely enough has pieces of my heart on them, but you do not want them. If I cannot trust you with these, how can I trust you with my heart?"
