Answers
The huge tree stood in the forest. Everything around it was eerily quiet. There were no squirrels running around and no birds singing on its branches. The friendless tree just stood aloof, not letting anyone enjoy sitting in its shade. The rude tree would shake violently and drop leaves and branches on the unsuspecting animals sitting under it. Not a soul in the forest liked the tree.
One particular winter, when it was colder than ever, all the leaves fell off. The bare tree shivered, but no animal offered to help it. It was a really rude tree, after all. One day, a little girl came across the poor tree. She was considering helping the tree, when the Forest Fairy suddenly appeared and warned the girl, "This tree is very unfriendly. It has been extremely mean to the forest animals and does not deserve to be helped. Think again, little girl!"
The girl stood there, perplexed. She then decided to cover its trunk with a warm and fuzzy blanket. The blanket helped the tree survive through the terrible wintry months. The tree realised how one act of kindness can make such a huge difference, and vowed to help others.
The Forest Fairy noticed the change in the tree. She went and told the forest animals about it. Soon, when the weather was better, and the tree sprouted fresh greenery, the girl came by to sit in the shade of the tree everyday. Animals also began enjoying the shade.
Surprisingly, the tree started looking forward to meeting the girl and the forest creatures everyday. He would enjoy their chit-chats and smile to himself, glad that he now had so many friends to spend time with!
Explanation:
Title : Help others to get help
Once there was a huge tree in a forest. It had long branches and leaves where animals in the forest would sit under the shade of the tree. But the tree was not friendly to them. He would make leaves and branches fall on the animal sitting under it . One winter a cold wind blew and that took off all the leaves and shed the branches leaving the tree all alone. This made the tree shivering in cold. At that time a little girl came as an angel for the tree. The girl covered it with a blanket despite she was warned by Forest fairy about the bad nature of tree. Then the tree realised the importance of helping others and vowed to girl that now he would let others sit under his shade. And so the girl and the other animals returned under the shade of tree
