Thumbs up if you first watched this in school.

This made me cry for some reason
-
the fact that people of all ages have passionate opinions about the story of a children's book should give everyone pause.

To this day, this is one of the few stories that can actually get a tear out of me :)

@unklelemmy This is not just a story about love it's also story about man and nature and relationships.
Notice that it's one-sided and that the selfish boy (mankind) does nothing but exploit the tree (nature) throughout the stages of his life for whatever needs he had at such stages. This book is to teach kids to be aware of selfishness and taking advantage of kindness of others.
You aren't suppose to like the boy, you are suppose to admire and be angry for the tree.
