DO YOU WANT TO HEAR A STORY?!!!!....

At the edge of a field, there grew a coconut tree. It was very tall. The coconut tree was always teasing the grass. "My Dear Grass, you are so short! I am the tallest and strongest tree."

Everyday, the coconut tree teased the grass. The grass only kept quiet. One day, there came a strong storm. "Help! Help!" the voice of the coconut tree could be heard asking for help.

Dum! Another loud sound was heard. The coconut tree had fallen.       The grass than said, "My dear Coconut Tree, even though I am short, the storm cannot destroy me!"

The coconut tree was ashamed. It regretted for teasing the grass earlier.       At last, the coconut tree died.
