Trees

Trees are important to both humans and nature. They provide oxygen, fuel, fruit, and shade. Trees are friendly to children who use them for swinging, hiding in games of hide-and-seek, and building treehouses. Adults also find uses for trees, holding tea parties under them and collecting leaves in autumn. Trees are home to birds and a source of beauty that both mothers and fathers appreciate.
