There was this tree.
What was so special about this tree?
It was always GREEN, no matter what season it was.
The trees around it shed their leaves in autumn, but this tree was always GREEN.
People in the nearby village wondered what kept this tree GREEN. Some worshipped it and called it the LIFE TREE. They believed till the time there is life on the earth this tree will remain GREEN. Years went by, generations passed but that tree never shed.
The belief grew stronger day by day and year by year. Villagers constructed a temple around it and a stone near the tree read "THE LIFE TREE".
One autumn, people came to the temple to offer their prayers but to their surprise they found the tree has grown BROWN, All its leaves were lying under it, all brown and dead.
As this autumn the tree, for the first time opened its EYES.
