Theodora's Tall Tree
In Theodora's backyard stood an impressive tall tree. This tree was her best friend. Theodora loved climbing its branches and admiring the view. With each season, the tree changed. In spring, it wore a dress of beautiful blossoms. In summer, its leaves were lush and green. In autumn, it dazzled with colors of gold and red. In winter, it stood bare and strong. The tree was also home to many animals. Squirrels scurried up and down its trunk, birds built nests in its branches, and tiny insects buzzed around its leaves. Theodora loved to watch them all. One day, Theodora learned at school how trees help the environment by providing oxygen and homes for animals. She felt proud of her tall tree and told all her friends about it.
