Can You See the Cookie Tree

I was walking in the park last week, when to me, a young boy did speak. 'Excuse me mister can you tell me, where can I find a cookie tree? I know that there are some in here, and I've been told that they are near, yes, before I was the age of three, I knew all about the cookie tree! I've never seen one yet, although, they're definitely here, yes this I know, as from a very young age they've told me so, that cookie trees in this park grow. So come on mister, tell me please, where in this park are the cookie trees? I have to find them before I'm old, and they're definitely here, because I've been told.' I answered him in the following way. 'Since I was young I've come to play, and wander freely all around this park, but your question leaves me in the dark. Because, never once in all this time, have I come across any sign, to tell me that cookies grow on trees, where did you get your info please? ' Straight away, the kid replied. 'Oh well, you're the first one that I've tried. I didn't think I'd do it with ease, you know, find the orchard of cookie trees. So I'll carry on until I find, someone who believes, and isn't blind, yes a person who really, truly agrees, with the fact that cookies grow on trees!

Well David for an awful lot of folks they certainly do! For a lot of honest free thinkers, I don't think they do! Tom
