Title: The Caring Tree

Intro…
All : Dear fellow friends, honourable judges and our beloved
audience. Comfort yourself and listen well. We’re about to
tell you a story about “The Caring Tree”.
2nd row : A long time ago, there was a huge tree… (Action)
1st row : A little boy loved to come and play around it every day.
(Action)
2nd row : He climbed to the treetop, ate the fruits, and took a nap
under the shadow. (Action) He loved the tree and the tree
loved to play with him. (Action)
1st row : Time went by, the little boy had grown up, and he no
longer played around the tree every day.
1st row : Ohh, poor tree. It was left all alone… (Action)
2nd row : One day, the boy came back to the tree and he looked sad.
(Action)
Tree (2 girls) : Come and play with me.
2 Boys : I am no longer a kid. (Action) I do not play around trees
anymore. I want toys. I need money to buy them. (Action)
Tree (2 girls) : Sorry, but I do not have money. You can pick all my fruits
and sell them. So, you will have money.
2nd row : The boy was so excited. He grabbed all the fruits on the
tree and left happily.
1st row : Oh, oh… Again! The tree was left all alone… (Action)
2nd row : The boy failed to come back for a very long time. The
tree was sad.
All : One day, the boy who was now a young man, returned. The
tree was very excited to see him again.
Tree (2 girls) : Come and play with me.
2 Boys : I do not have time to play. I have to work for my family.
We need a house for shelter. Can you help me?
Tree (2 girls) : Sorry, but I do not have a house. You can chop off my
branches to build your house.
2 Boys : Oh, thank you.
2nd row : So the man cut all the branches of the tree and left
happily.
1st row : Ohhhh… Poor old tree. It was again left lonely and sad for
a long time.
All : One fine day, the man returned and the tree was
delighted. (Action)
Tree (2 girls) : Come and play with me!
2 Boys : I am getting old. I want to go sailing to relax myself. Can
you give me a boat?
Tree (2 girls) : Use my trunk to build your boat. You can sail far away and
be happy.
2nd row : So the man cut the tree trunk to make a boat. He went
sailing.
1st row : Oh, oh… Again! What an ungrateful man! He never showed
up for a long time.
2nd row : Finally, the man returned after many years. He looked
weak and old.
Tree (2 girls) : Sorry, my boy. But I do not have anything for you now.
Not even fruits… No more trunk for you to climb on…
2 boys : I do not need much now. Just a place to rest. I am tired
after all these years.
Tree (2 girls) : Good! Old tree roots are the best place to lean on and
rest. Come sit down with me and rest.
2nd row : The man sat down, leaning on the roots. The tree was glad
and smiled with tears.
1st row : This is a story of everyone. The tree is like our parents.
When we were young, they sacrificed their time and effort
on us. But, when we grow up, we need to leave them.
All : So, we must cherish the contributions of our parents.
