    Dear Diary,
    It was a too sunny day, and I wanted a shade. I remembered my tree, I went to see it. It was little and I saw some leaves falling down. I wanted to help the tree so I went to get water. I poured the water in the sand near the tree but I saw, the tree didn’t grow and I went to get more water. I did it 3 times, I was getting dirty and exhausted. When there was no water I fell near the tree and a drop of sweat fall from my forehead. When I slept my tree was growing and gave me a shade, Flowers and bushes grew near the tree.
