Weeping Willow -A Tree Fable
Once upon a time ...Long ago in a far away land,
there lived beautiful princess .
She walked through the forest watching a young
deer, as it fed on the grass turn quickly to bolt,
falling from a hunter's arrow.
Tears fell from her eyes ,
causing them to glisten in the sun
giving her eyes the look of a sparkling star
on a moonlit night.
The young hunter was in awe of her beauty.
He walked up to her and knelt with a bow,
giving her the promise that his arrow
would never again pierce anything
that would bring tears to her eye.
She was touched by his promise
and the kind look in his eyes.
He was very handsome.
She fell deeply in love as if
a magical spell had been cast
by fairy dust.
Her father did not approve of
the match because he was a commoner.
He sent the young hunter to the New World.
The young princess rushed to him
as he boarded the ship.
She placed in his hand a bag of magical
seeds given to her by a magician .
Her tears fell onto the seeds.
She told him to plant the seeds
where ever he was, and someday
she would find him.
The young hunter carried her seeds
with him to the New World. He fell
asleep one night by a river
with the seeds laying close to him.
The next morning he felt the cool
breeze of wind
and heard it whisper her name.
He awakened with tears in his eyes
to see a beautiful tree had grown
close to where he had sleep,
giving him shelter.
He carved a heart into the tree
with the name of his princess..
The tree has shed her tears
and has been given her name,
Weeping Willow.
