Once there was a tree…698Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQlUX2FvVjW
698Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeuWIsA7Fnw
698Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXFxgwpz9fK
And she hated a little boy.698Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡioT699Reun
698Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYTIcxWzrU5
698Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdgEXgyXgjf
And every day the boy would come and he would rake her leaves and scoop them into piles and then dive into them and laugh.698Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGJbp0PWC90
698Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJliGQrsCKH
698Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTg5WcLUY7A
He would shimmy up the trunk and swing from her branches until they cracked. She wished he would fall and break his leg. 698Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNAm9eB2RiR
698Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWb5MQ9JnP2
698Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBDjV747qAt
And eat her apples until his belly hurt. She hoped they made him sick. 698Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnbx1fXLvG5
698Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡccw90Ehljn
698Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5U6s7uHWSR
And he and his brother would play hide-and-go-seek and hide behind her. She would glare at them and curse under her breath.698Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNVJm3LrNlB
698Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡokQtbXkTpn
698Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUMiLLa81rx
And on sunny days he would sleep in her shade. Her branches weren't able to move or she would have speared him with one. 698Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPtIxGP9i0t
698Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡazgAtHnAeG
698Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKbhBtfuDYe
And the boy was creeped out by the tree.698Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHNbTj7RaeD
698Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHKGDIES1Ph
698Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGZkcgfBZLR
Very much.698Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDwyMlSvq3l
698Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡReKa94hMk8
698Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaq3R9lkLX1
And the tree was full of hate.698Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5dr0oAOojG
698Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC45VAVgaHh
698Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDNhF7nWm70
As time went by the tree grew more spiteful.698Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvUtkdDn1CD
698Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4WQ0X5Skv4
698Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc5RuXdQBZs
And the malevolent tree was often alone.698Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJE1BcCbD9W
698Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9DGD1Kbb3O
698Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv33ftGQ4bq
One day the boy came to the tree and the tree said, “Come, Boy. Come and climb up my trunk and swing from my branches and fall off and break your neck.”698Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO1zKmh7SIl
698Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkm34OcgQoW
698Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFJTXe59Lgx
“I don't want to climb up and break my neck,” said the boy. “I'm just thinking of a way to make some money. Do you know how I could make some money?”698Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1IFFuFSbSm
698Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjrDFJGTgtM
698Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0DuIELhVc9
“I do,” said the black hearted tree. “Climb up into my branches, Boy. Climb up and pick my apples and sell them. Then you can make some money. Then you will be happy.”698Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrSdi2rEbq3
698Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkGsAxpKsxI
698Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6xedWS8VQy
So the boy climbed up to pick her apples, but the tree shook her branches and the boy fell out and broke his arm. 698Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnjYbC9Vi4S
698Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡigyFjqFdYz
698Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQqaDTZbcGj
And the tree was happy.698Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjnmnYO6uaa
698Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvuhxxWNHc9
698Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLQhPiomDG3
But the boy stayed away for a long time and the tree glared at him and his family through their windows while they were sleeping and thought of ways to do them harm. 698Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIBmD4YWStm
698Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu2qAMMOtiq
698Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc6bDVFEidu
And then one day the boy came back and the tree shook with fury and she said, “Come, Boy, climb up my trunk and fall down and break your arm again and be miserable.”698Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrh9ypoYoCZ
698Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2JtmPG1UjL
698Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡytqNWcyAMP
“I learned my lesson last time I climbed you,” said the boy. “I'm just trying to think of a way to build a fort for my child. You wouldn't know of a way for me to build a fort would you?”698Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwAhXWoPbW7
698Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqbKIfLW4G4
698Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwrZLQzrK5V
“I have no fort,” said the tree. “The forest is my fort. But you may cut off my branches and build a fort for your child. Then you will be happy.”698Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcPB3EAv3ne
698Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFa5Xar7cq4
698Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVzsxjh74cS
And so the boy got a ladder and a saw and cut off a branch, but the branch fell wrong and hit the ladder and made it fall and the boy broke his leg. 698Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRxDVRrJdiC
698Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡssSIK3b5uL
698Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGLJUZu4CSz
And the tree was happy.698Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYNdCQ4xlFr
698Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRTYgK3TbMg
698Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl99SMVjr9B
But the boy stayed away for a long time. And when he came back the tree was so angry she could hardly speak. 698Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwB8BYw1Qst
698Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEa8r8afgTR
698Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2Pgo2wN8G9
“Come, Boy,” she whispered, “tie a noose around one of my branches and hang yourself from it.”698Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFKUbxHBYnQ
698Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT1ovXldSmw
698Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZaqal6qkif
“I'm too old to climb up and hang a noose,” said the boy. “I brought some gasoline and matches with me and I'm going to burn you to the ground and rid the world of your wickedness.”698Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKLt66po4yX
698Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkX3EKWflcI
698Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiprhRfXV5i
“Come soak me in gasoline and light me on fire,” said the tree. “Then you can burn me to ash and be happy.”698Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSbiIJlrIW2
698Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7vsxqxCz14
698Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7e7MHxRtR2
And so the boy doused the bottom of the tree in gasoline and lit a match and threw it onto the tree. But the tree’s roots had wrapped around his feet and the fire burned the boy’s legs. The fire quickly burnt itself out and the boy left swearing vengeance. 698Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4ztInMKx0O
698Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmLh3Hq1n2J
698Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDZbaU10Gs7
And the tree was happy. But not really. She wouldn't be happy until the boy was dead and gone.698Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQfELgRxG8K
698Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFWFMqYDDEI
698Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmPP6XLL2vW
And after a long time the boy came back again. Holding and axe.698Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsD5kUzpttF
698Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMITuTQo5rZ
698Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNEvp47TpRP
“I am sorry, Boy,” said the tree, “but you have only one thing left that I want.”698Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj30Q58zqO2
698Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡReti6teLt6
698Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnfGMdYtJDT
“I'm not here to give you anything,” said the boy. “This time I'm here to take.”698Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUBUnxaueF0
698Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMPN9BNBnBR
698Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡASdHOgTGJg
“Like I took your arm?”698Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv4T2vQQyPN
698Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjnHMXRNPyz
698Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ59LAknxQp
“It's never been the same since you threw me out,” said the boy. “Now it's your turn to fall.”698Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA5BlGdfQ5H
698Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyDEME2SvAJ
698Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡytrngR5n5J
“Like you did when you cut my branch? When you broke your leg?” asked the tree.698Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ12xMCTFMR
698Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdMYIiJixIM
698Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNF36bQ4tam
“Not a mistake I will make again,” said the boy. “I didn't bring a ladder to climb. I brought an axe to cut.”698Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjFJwY37xGm
698Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx6QgWxxNSi
698Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo2vQpPQ5gx
“You are not going to try and burn me like I burned you?” the tree asked in her hideous voice.698Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsGcvlQLks0
698Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpI4C1Vcsfd
698Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ666f0yDNse
“No,” said the boy. “No more foolish talk. I'm here to take your black heart and extinguish your evil forever.”698Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRWQGCmxW6Y
698Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ56Y81MNbbq
698Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQj9CXwxWJJ
“I'm sorry, Boy,” said the vile tree. “But I will not be giving today. I will be taking.”698Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPlQUltAvA2
698Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtcuTbMmOM4
698Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGgjHW6ovHQ
So the boy came forward and began to swing his axe. With every swing he cut into the old, foul flesh of the tree. With every stroke of the axe the depraved tree howled in pain and cursed at the boy. 698Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡncG0SF71KJ
698Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMEVqCyakSA
698Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvUEjv7U0L5
Finally the tree came toppling down, but as it fell it used all of it’s strength to lunge one last time. It threw it’s weight towards the boy and the hate filled tree toppled down and smashed atop the boy breaking his body once and for all.698Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHVp3V8BVCE
698Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWXLcghBIzf
698Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL3KGRT9r5c
The boy struggled under the weight of the wood that pinned him to the ground. Finally he was able to free himself and inch his way out from under it. 698Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ32r7g301n1
698Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3ujExC5Gb8
698Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwhZVfc8L5m
“There,” the boy said in barely a whisper as his life force was fleeing from his body. “Now the world will never bear witness to your degenerate spirit again.”698Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf5qfZgGFsD
698Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtWzQh9q5tH
698Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfcOimmxepU
“You may have ended me, but I told you I would be taking today, Boy,” the tree said. “Now I'm just an old stump. But an old stump is good for laying up against as you die. Come, Boy, come lay up against me and let us watch each other die.”698Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0OVtK2RScP
698Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtg9X9LwkCq
698Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh9eZd3PEUx
And the boy did. 698Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo2U7FFM15w
698Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFQv7obvJrT
698Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8clpkVfJEU
And the tree was happy.698Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlU8rMtWcCN
