The fiction begins with the encounter of a child with a lonely tree, where the child’s presence brings the message of joy to the tree. The story also alludes to child-parent relationship, where the parents sacrifice their comforts and needs for the happiness of their children. The story also describes the selfishness of humans towards the selfless objects of nature, which are always ready to serve the humans even by undergoing pains and sacrificing their life too during the course of time. The short-story, in a highly morbid way, narrates the process of life from childhood to old age, in a powerful manner by depicting the alterations in the desires, interests, necessities and views of the individuals along with the growth of his age.
