Abstract

en_US Here there is but one character, and that character learns seemingly without incident or provocation. That is to say, there is no story here. What the tree learns is that it is in an ecosystem where everyone helps, no matter how big, or small, beautiful or even those the tree perhaps thought were ugly (20). As the grammar of this quotation suggests, there are some issues with the English in this booklet. For example, the tree starts with a good question How can I be the strongest tree in this forest? Its answer to itself starts with And the more leaves I have, the more energy I get from the sun (4). How does and fit here? Another sentence begins If I were to chase away the earthworms away (15). Oops! The learning here gets into ants, fungus, earthworms, bird droppings, bacteria, bees, pollination, and rain water. The strongest tree gives what it does not need and receives back from others what they do not need (19).
