Once there was a very beautiful mountain and on top of it is a huge and abundant tree. It lasted for so long that mountaineers would love to rest under it. Different seasons and climates have already passed; summer, winter, fall, autumn, rain and shine. Many couples vowed to each other in front of this tree. Many families have gathered and had a reunion and this tree witnessed these all. One day, a summer and warm day, a leaf asked another leaf "Hey, aren't you tired to be in this place all these time? I think we've had enough."
"I know, but our friend, stem, still wants to stay, so what can we do?" The second leaf responded.
"Maybe we can sleep and then never wake up! In that way, we can rest forever along with the other leaves." The first leaf said.
"Okay, I think that's a good idea."
The two leaves agreed on this and announced it to the other leaves. The next day, the body which is the trunk woke up together with it's stems. People started to come and visit this famous tree. However, the trunk was shocked because he felt so weak. Another hour passed by, more and more people are starting to notice that the tree seems to look lifeless. The trunk told it stems, "We should continue to live for the people, but I'm getting weaker." The stems started complaining one by one until one of the stems noticed that the leaves are dead. He reported it to the the trunk.
"How can they do this to us? They should have at least said it to us" one of the stems said.
Weaker and weaker they became; "Some things really never last even if we belong in the same part. We can never escape to say goodbye," trunk said. After that day, this famous and abundant tree died. A man who was a regular goer to the mountain was sad and whispered "Things come and go, even this tree"
