>>>"Come and play with me," the tree asked the boy.
>>>
>>>"I am no longer a kid, I don't play around trees anymore."
>>>
>>> The boy replied, "I want toys. I need money to buy them."

>>>So, you will have money."  The boy was so excited.

>>>We need a house for shelter. Can you help me?"
>>>
>>>"Sorry, but I don't have a house.
