Once upon a time, there lived an old woman in a village. Everyone in the village liked her because of three reasons. The first reason is that she is very nice. The secong reason is that she has a pet bird who says "Good day" to everyone. The third reason was that she had the brightest house in the village. The light comes from an apple tree. All year long the tree was covered with white flowers and golden apples. They gave out wonderful warmth and light. The people in the village called it the Sun Tree.
Soon the king of the land heard about it. He wanted the tree in his castle. So the king went to take the tree. When he got there the old woman of course did not want him to take away her tree even if it was on his land, so she gave the king a seed to plant. The king told the best gardener to plant it, but it didn't grow.
The king went again to the woman's house to take the tree away. The poor woman was very sad and asked the king if she could keep one of the seeds, the king said yes. Soon the tree in the castle died, but a new Sun Tree grew in it's place at the woman's house. When the king heard about the new Sun Tree he was very surprised.He thought, "The Sun Tree needs this land to grow."
So he told the woman, I am going to live here. You must move out. The old woman was very sad. She asked the king if she could have a seed, the king said no.
On that day the old woman moved out. On the way to there new house the bird flew out of his cage. He said to the king,"You must not live here, the Sun Tree won't with you around."
But the king didn't listen to the bird.
When the king's new house was done, the king decided to have a party. When everyone got to the house, a girl shouted,
"What a strange tree, it can walk!"
The Sun Tree kept on walking until it got to the woman's new house. This time the king didn't get the tree. he knew that not everything on his land was his.
