Once upon a time, there was a skinny tree named Slim. Slim was very proud of his straight trunk and thin branches. But one day, a strong wind came and bent Slim's trunk into a rounded shape.
Slim felt embarrassed and wished he could be solid and straight again. Suddenly, a wise old oak tree named Thick approached him and said, "Don't worry Slim, being skinny and thin is beautiful too. Embrace your unique shape."
So, Slim learned to love himself just the way he was and found happiness in his rounded trunk. And when it rained, the water would collect in the wide pockets formed by his bent trunk, providing a home for many small creatures. From then on, Slim stood tall and proud, a skinny yet solid tree in the forest. The end.

Reflections

1. What did Slim feel about his rounded trunk at first?
2. What did Thick say to Slim?
3. How did Slim change after he learned to love himself?
4. Why did Slim provide a home for small creatures?
