BR 1-08:The Baobab Tree

I read The Baobab Tree, because its book cover makes an impression. This story is about a talking tree and some angry gods. The main character is a talking tree.
One day, the gods made a talking tree. They called it the Baobab tree. The Baobab tree talked a lot. The gods grew a forest of tall trees. The Baobab tree was fed up. The gods made trees with flowers. The Baobab tree was even more fed up. The gods got cross. "Stop moaning!" they said. Then the gods made trees that grew fruit. "I want fruit, " said the Baobab tree. "Stop!" cried the gods. They grabbed the Baobab tree and turned it upside down. His head was in the ground. He couldn't open his mouth to talk. No one has ever heard the Baobab tree say another word.
This story is based on a South African tale about a tree known as the baobab. The baobab tree looks as if its roots are in the air, so people came up with stories to explain its strange shape.

I didn't know about Baobab tree. It was very interesting! I want you to read it!
