The Taking Tree: A Selfish Parody

The Taking Tree: A Selfish Parody

Shrill Travesty
3.9/5 ( ratings)
Read Download
We all know the story of the "selfless" tree that gave all she had just to make sure a young boy was "happy."

Snore. This is a different tree. This is a different boy. This is a very different book.

The Taking Tree is not so happy when the boy takes her twigs to pick on his sister, or takes her apples to sell for college , or when he cuts off her branches to build a house that he burns for insurance money. And the boy is not sorry at all. Ever. In fact, he's kind of a jerk. And the boy asks for more, and more, and more until the oak tree is so fed up she just can't take it any longer. While another story might end sweetly with an old man sitting on a stump. This one does not.
