Last Year’s Tree
Author: [Japanese] Xinmei Nanze Translator: Sun Youjun
A tree and a bird My son is a good friend. Birds stand on the branches and sing to the tree every day. As for the tree, I listen to the birds singing every day.
The days are passing by, and the cold winter is coming. The birds must leave the trees and fly far, far away.
The tree said to the bird: Goodbye, little bird! Please come back next spring and sing to me. ?
The bird said: ?Okay, I will definitely come back next spring and sing to you. Please wait for me!? After the bird finished speaking, it flew to the south.
Spring is here again. The snow in the fields and forests melted. The bird came back here again to find her good friend the tree.
However, the tree disappeared and only the roots remained there.
?Where did the tree standing here go? The bird asked the roots.
The tree root replied: The woodcutter chopped him down with an ax and pulled him into the valley. ?
The birds flew towards the valley.
There is a big factory in the valley, with the sound of sawing wood and the sound of sand. The bird landed on the factory gate. She asked the door: Mr. Door, where is my good friend tree? Do you know?
The door replied: "It's a tree. It's cut into thin strips in the factory and made into matches." Sold in the village over there. ?
The birds flew towards the village.
Beside a kerosene lamp, sat a little girl. The bird asked the girl: "Little girl, please tell me, do you know where the matches are?"
The little girl replied: "The matches have been used up." However, the fire lit by the match is still burning in this lamp. ?
The bird opened his eyes wide and stared at the light for a while.
Then, she sang the song she sang last year to the lights.
After singing the song, the bird looked at the light for a while and then flew away.
