The father of the trees.



The father of the trees.

The servent was the only one,
living in this old house.
The other members were in the town,
living their own.

In front of the old house,
there were number of trees.
They were looked after by the servant,
as the house owners, living in distant.

The servent loved the trees,
like his own children.
Even sometimes he whispered with them,
under sunlight or moon beam.

Oneday horn of a car blew infront
of the old house gate.
The owners came with other,
wanted to sale the house for ever.

The servent came to know
and begged them not to sell the garden
but it was decided by the owner,
sell it all together.

Then tears rolled down from the
checks of the servent.
How he could leave his children,
so insecurely in the garden!

Oneday he heard roaring sound of saw.
He peeped through his window.
He noticed a big tree was cutting.
and few men were sawing.

He requested them not to cut the tree.
They replied that
they couldn't disobey the order,
given by their master.

Then the servent told them that
Let him go far away from there,
then they could start their sawing.
After that he left the place with crying.

Then the servent was
not seen again.
It is a fact not a story,
to enhance ones glory.
