The Tree That Grew Hair

 The Cedar tree basked in the warm climate of the tropical forest. It was positioned in the right place to get all the sunlight and nutrients it needed from the forest floor. Its leaves were firm, thick, and loaded with sweet sap. And ideally, it was surrounded by good, neighborly trees.

But the Cedar tree wasn’t happy. There was something more that it wanted. Something different. The Cedar hated when its leaves turned brown and fell off. The Cedar thought that growing long, flowing hair on its branches instead of leaves would fix its problem. Moreover, it thought if a tree grew hair instead of leaves, it would get a lot of attention from the trees and animals in the forest. So, it shared its idea with the neighboring trees.

The Cedar thought about the majesty and splendor of the Flamboyant tree when in full bloom. Its brilliant floral crown transforms the forest so that the bees, birds, animals, and forest guests marvel at its beauty.

The Cedar tree was not swayed by the neighboring trees discouraging words and was set on doing what it wanted to do. Will it still change its way of thinking?
