Once, Little Johnny was walking through the woods as he always did.

He walked and he walked and he walked some more. He walked until he didn't know where he was anymore.

He tried to find his way home until it started getting dark. Then he began to call for help as it was getting rather late.

"Help! Help! I am lost and can not find my way home!" He cried. "This way..." An older man's voice called out.

Having no where else to go, Little Johnny followed the voice until he came upon a clearing.

In that clearing there sat a large, old, gnarled oak. "Are you the human who was calling for help?" The elder oak asked.

"Why yes I was," Little Johnny replied. "I was walking in the woods, and I got lost. I want to go home."
"Very well then," the elder oak said, "Where do you live, little human?"

"In the town of Oklahoma." Little Johnny answered.

"Ahh, yes. I know of that place. It is one of the few towns that does not participate in killing my brethren." The elder oak stated.

"Your brethren?" Little Johnny asked.
"Yes, the other trees of this forest are my brethren, and there are many humans cutting them down in the towns close to this forest." The elder oak sighed.

"That sounds horrible!" Little Johnny exclaimed. "What can I do to help?"
"I do not know. Why don't you ask the people in your town." The elder oak volunteered.

"I will when I get home!" Little Johnny assured him.

"Very well then." The elder oak said as he pointed one of his branches off into the woods, "Follow the path that my branch points to and you will reach your town."

"Thank you! I'll make sure to help you as soon as I get back to my town!" Little Johnny shouted as he started to make his way home.

When Little Johnny got home he immediately went up to his room and started thinking of ways to help the elder oak.

"Hmmm..." Little Johnny thought "How can I help the elder oak?"

He thought and he thought. He thought until he couldn't think anymore, and then he thought some more. Finally, after thinking for hours, Little Johnny came up with an amazing idea.

The next day, the elder oak saw Little Johnny come into clearing with something behind his back.

"What is hidden behind your back?" The elder oak queried.

Little Johnny replied "This!", and from behind his back pulled a young sapling.


"I thought that since people were cutting down your fellow trees, you were getting lonely. So, I brought you this!"

"Excellent!" The elder oak exclaimed. "Plant it now!"

So Little Johnny planted the sapling, and continued to plant trees for the rest of his life.
