  • @dadnapt24 Not sure what you are referring to.....

  • "There was a needy man and a homosexual tree that never had the guts to make it's move. The end."

  • @lisasimpson the trees a girl

  • @117BUBBLEZ The comment is a quote from The Cleveland Show, episode "A Short Story and a Tall Tale" where Donna doesn't feel like reading the whole book to Rallo so she sums it up in the above sentence.

  • man that boy is SELFISH

  • Ahh.. I remember this book. It made me cry like a baby when I was 10. My teacher even started crying as she read it to us, the day she didn't have any lesson plans. My, how touching a simple story can be to people of all ages.

  • Cool, thanks for sharing :-)

  • The boy isn't selfish, it just shows that as we grow up, things that seemed important to us, dont anymore, even if those things, only had us. I mean, do you still think about your teddy bear you had when you were little, or you blanky? you probably dont, but it doesnt make you selfish. It just means you grew up. :)

  • SQUEEKY NOISE >.<

  • This story is way too sad. The boy is way to selfish. It's depressing!!!!!!! I want to commit suicide now.

  • I really like this i'm going to share it :) made me cry

  • This IS my favorite book of all time.

  • That boy is pretty dumb, asking a tree for money and for a house...

  • Just got me crying again after alll those years. A timeless classic! <3

  • What a wonderful book. All children should read it.  ADULTS TOO!

  • This book is so sad...
