The sun peeked through the branches of the tall mango tree, casting playful shadows on the soft grass below. Pia and Riyadh sat cross-legged under its cool shade, sipping water and giggling about their day at school. It had become their favorite spot\u2014a quiet corner of the orchard where the breeze whispered and the tree always had something magical to say.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
As they leaned back against the trunk, the tree\u2019s voice gently stirred the air.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cGood morning, kiddos!<\/strong>\u201d said the mango tree, its leaves fluttering like a soft wave. \u201cDid you know I also give shelter to some cute little birdies? Look up!<\/strong>\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n Pia and Riyadh looked up with wide eyes. There, nestled high among the branches, was a little round nest. Two tiny birds chirped cheerfully inside, flapping their wings.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cWow, really?<\/strong>\u201d Pia said, amazed. \u201cYou’re so awesome, Mr. Tree!<\/strong>\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cAw, thanks, little one,<\/strong>\u201d the tree replied with a warm rustle. \u201cI do what I can. But\u2026 if I\u2019m being honest, I wish I had more friends around here.<\/strong>\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n Riyadh tilted his head. \u201cWhy don\u2019t you have any friends nearby, Mr. Tree?<\/strong>\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n The tree\u2019s voice lowered, almost like a sigh carried by the wind. \u201cWell\u2026 I used to have so many friends\u2014peepal, neem, gulmohar, and even tall coconut trees. We swayed together, whispered stories through the wind, and watched over the village. But one by one, they were cut down by humans. Some wanted more land, others didn\u2019t understand how much we mattered. Now, it\u2019s just me and the birds.<\/strong>\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n Pia and Riyadh sat quietly for a moment, their smiles fading. They looked at each other, thinking the same thought.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The next morning, just as the first light of day touched the orchard, the mango tree stood still, unaware of the surprise waiting for it. Pia and Riyadh returned, each holding a small sapling in their hands\u2014one a bright flowering plant, the other a tiny neem tree.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Pia grinned. \u201cClose your eyes, Mr. Tree! We have a surprise for you!<\/strong>\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n The tree chuckled. \u201cI don\u2019t really have eyelids, but okay, I\u2019ll pretend!<\/strong>\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n The children dug small holes in the soil nearby, their hands muddy and their hearts full. With care, they planted the saplings on either side of the mango tree and gently patted the soil down.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cOkay, Mr. Tree\u2014open your eyes!<\/strong>\u201d Riyadh said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n When the tree looked down and saw the two little plants, it paused\u2014and then its leaves began to sway in delight.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cOh, my dear friends! What a wonderful surprise!<\/strong>\u201d the tree said, joy ringing in its voice. \u201cYou brought me company\u2026 you brought me life! Thank you so much!<\/strong>\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cNow you won\u2019t feel lonely anymore,<\/strong>\u201d Pia said happily. \u201cSoon, these little ones will grow tall and strong\u2014just like you. And you\u2019ll all tell stories and dance in the wind together again.<\/strong>\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n The tree bent one of its branches down gently, brushing the children\u2019s shoulders in a leafy hug. The birds chirped joyfully from the nest above as if they too felt the joy of new beginnings.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The three of them\u2014Pia, Riyadh, and the mango tree\u2014shared a big, leafy, laughter-filled group hug under the warm morning sun.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Every living being needs love and companionship. By planting trees, we not only help nature\u2014but we also grow kindness, hope, and friendship. One small act can bring life to many.<\/p>\n\n\n\nMoral of The Story<\/strong> :-<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
