The Weepin’ Tree—

ON A DAY JUST LIKE ANY other, a young man went walking to a well that was by a tree that he had always thought reminded him of a pretty woman. The tree’s branches all leaned toward the ground as if they were her hair.

And when a strong wind blew, the branches danced in the wind. The young man smiled and wondered why this tree looked sort of human.

As he carried on moving closer to the well, he heard a voice calling out to him: ‘O, kind and brave knight. Won’t you save me from my plight.’

The young man looked back at the tree and saw a pair of weeping eyes blinking at him. He screamed and dashed away in a manner as if his pants were on fire.

As he tried to escape, something grabbed him by his ankles & lifted his body off the ground. He was shocked to see his ankles were wrapped with a branch from the weeping willow tree.

The tree had a burrow right by it’s roots. His body was dragged into it. He screamed and screamed, but the tree was not in the same spot it had been-near the well.
