Just Fall

There was a big oak tree that grew in a big open plain . It was the most beautiful tree on the plain . When autumn arrived, the leaves began to fall, and the nuts began to shed. But there was one little nut that just had bloomed, and he didn't want to fall. The little nut said: "Wait, I'm not ready to fall! " Then the big oak tree said, "if you fall to the ground , over time , you will sprout up into a big oak tree just like me." But the little nut didn't want to listen. So he hung on to the big oak tree, fighting, saying:" I will not fall , I will not fall!" So the big oak tree shook, and shook ,and shook! Until...... the little nut finally fell straight to the ground. The little nut said," why would you let me fall? Why? I didn't want to fall!" The little nut cried, and cried , and cried! The big oak tree said: "sometimes, we have to let go and just fall, so that we can grow into something bigger and better. One day, when the time comes, you will sprout up big and strong. You will be back up and ready to take on anything! The little nut sadly didn't understand. So he waited, and waited, and the more patient he was the more he grew. The little nut went through so much in the fall. He was thrown , stomped, kicked, rained on, and blown off the plain. After autumn , winter came. And after winter came spring. As the seasons changed, so did the nut, until he was a nut no more. The nut had sprouted into a beautiful oak tree with lots of beautiful leaves. Then, he realized that sometimes we have to let go of our problems. Just fall, and if we're patient enough, we'll sprout and be back up on our feet, ready to take on anything.
