I was once a tall oak tree as tall as the eye could see. I lived in a lush green forest full of animals, trees and plsnts we had every species from an elephant to a badger to an ant One day men came into my home I hoped they would leave us alone but they had an arsenal of chain saws and, axes and it was then their intenit became clear, they meant to cut us down which filled me with utter fear. Then they stack us up log by log, one by one until the deed was done . Next they took us to a processing area where they fashioned us into planks, boards, tables, stools and chairs. And although I'd rather have stayed a tree instead of furniture and other means of utensils, it could have been worse at least I can tell my story because they made me a pencil. ©SamHarty
