Little Maple was hopeful that someday he

could be an important tree like his friends in

the forest.

Tall Pine to his right was surely important.

Little Maple wondered when he would be

important.

One day he was very sad and his branches were drooping.
Then a bird came along and asked, “What’s the matter,
Little Maple?”

Little Maple replied,
“I’m not important like the
other trees.”

The bird says not to worry because one day Little
Maple will be a home for other birds. Little Maple
feels sad because that isn’t what he wants to do.
The bird flies away and Little Maple is still sad.

A few days later, Squirrel comes
along and sees that Little Maple
is still sulking and droopy. Squirrel
says, “Why are you so sad?"

Little Maple says, "I'll never
be important.

The Squirrel says not to be sad and tells Little Maple
that someday he’ll get to be an important tree.
