The Tree of Questions 🌳 | Uncle Augustine’s Children’s Story about Friendship and Respect 🫐✨

In the heart of Grandma’s orchard, under the shade of the towering blackberry tree, a group of children gathered every afternoon to listen to Uncle Augustine’s stories. The tree, always laden with sweet blackberries, was a special place. But one day, something extraordinary happened: the leaves began to rustle.

 

At first it was a soft murmur that only the most attentive could notice. But soon, everyone clearly heard the words: «What is true friendship?», «What does respect mean?», «Why is it important to take care of nature?» The children, surprised, looked at Uncle Augustine, who, with a knowing smile, explained to them that the tree was testing their wisdom.

«This tree is magical,» said Uncle Augustine as he adjusted his straight-brimmed hat. «Every time you answer one of its questions correctly, a new blackberry will bloom, as a gift for your effort and honesty.»

Intrigued, the children accepted the challenge. First, Sofia, the youngest of the group, answered: «True friendship is helping others without expecting anything in return.» Immediately, a bright blackberry appeared among the leaves, as if the tree were applauding her answer.

Then, Thomas, with his hands full of dirt from having been playing near the well, dared to answer the next question: «Respect is treating everyone as you would like to be treated.» Instantly, another blackberry blossomed, larger and brighter than the previous one.

Each child took a turn, reflecting on the tree’s questions. They talked about the importance of sharing, patience, and the need to take care of their environment. With each correct answer, the tree filled with blackberries, until all its foliage looked like a starry sky of small, shiny black fruits.

Uncle Augustine watched them with pride. «Did you notice?,» he said at the end, «the tree has taught us that the best answers are not in books, but in our hearts and in how we live our lives.»

As the sun began to set behind the mountains, the children, satisfied and happy, picked berries to share with their families. Before saying goodbye, they thanked Uncle Augustine and promised to return the next day to hear more stories and learn from the tree’s questions.

«Thank you for joining us in this wonderful story under the berry tree,» Uncle Augustine said with a smile as the windmill turned gently in the background. «If you enjoyed this story, don’t forget to subscribe to the channel, leave a ‘Like’ and ring the bell to receive notifications of our upcoming stories.

Stolen Shadows: The Story of the Boy Who Saved the Magic Kingdom

This time I have a mysterious story about something strange that happened in a small town. I think you’ll like this story. Make yourselves comfortable and pay attention.

In a small, picturesque town called Snow-Shadow, life used to go on peacefully, with its cobblestone streets and brightly colored houses reflecting the joy of its inhabitants. But one day, something strange began to happen. People noticed that their shadows, those dark figures that always accompanied them, began to disappear without a trace. At first, it was just one or two people, but soon, the entire town was affected.

Without a shadow, people felt strange, as if something vital had been taken away from them. The mystery of the missing shadows soon became the main topic of conversation, and no one knew what to do.

Among the town’s inhabitants, there was a boy named Mateo, a curious and brave ten-year-old boy, who couldn’t stop thinking about the missing shadows. Unlike the adults, who simply feared the unknown, Mateo was determined to discover the truth. While others avoided leaving their houses at dusk, when shadows were most visible, Mateo decided to investigate. He knew that something magical was happening, and magic always had a reason, even if it wasn’t always obvious.

One night, armed only with a flashlight and a small backpack, Mateo went out into the forest surrounding the village. The trees stood tall and dark, but Mateo wasn’t afraid of the darkness; in fact, he was convinced that he would find answers in it. After walking for a while, he came to a clearing where the moon illuminated the ground with a silvery light. Suddenly, he saw something moving among the bushes: a small, luminous figure. At first, Mateo thought it was an animal, but as he got closer, he discovered that it was a magical creature, a thin, shiny being, with translucent wings like those of a dragonfly.

«Who are you?» Mateo asked, showing no fear.

The creature looked at him with large, sad eyes.

“I am Cloud, a shadow collector,” the creature answered in a soft voice. “I have been taking the shadows of the village because I need them to save my world. My home, a kingdom deep in the forest, is in danger, and only the energy of the human shadows can restore the lost balance.”

Mateo, although intrigued, could not help but feel sorry for the people of the village. He knew that living without a shadow was like losing a part of themselves.

“But what will happen to the people without their shadows?” he asked with concern.

“I don’t want to hurt them,” Cloud answered, lowering his head, “but if I don’t collect enough shadows, my world will disappear forever.”

Mateo understood Cloud’s plight. Then, with his childlike cunning, an idea occurred to him.

“What if we find another way to help you? Maybe you won’t have to steal people’s shadows. Maybe there is something else we can do to save your kingdom without harming others.”

The creature looked at him hopefully, as if he had never considered that possibility before. Together, Mateo and Cloud returned to the forest, deeper than Mateo had ever been. There, deep inside, they found a source of magical energy that had been ignored for centuries. Cloud, with Mateo’s help, used his light to activate the source, which began to shine with a warm, golden glow.

“We did it!” Cloud exclaimed happily. “With this energy, I will be able to restore my kingdom without needing the shadows of humans.”

Mateo smiled, satisfied that he had found a solution that would benefit everyone. The next day, the shadows began to return to their owners, and life in Snow-Shadow returned to normal. No one knew exactly what had happened, but everyone noticed that, since then, Mateo walked with a shadow that seemed a little brighter and more alive than the others.

From that day on, Mateo knew that the world was full of mysteries, and that with courage, ingenuity, and a little magic, there would always be a way to solve them. And so, the small town of Snow-Shadow never forgot the story of the boy who brought back the shadows and saved a kingdom in danger.
