The Pohutakawa Tree

One beautiful sunny day there was a little girl named Serena.  She and her family had just moved into a lovely house.When her mum and dad were unpacking their stuff, she saw something shining on her face. She couldn’t see anything,it was too bright.She went closer and closer then  she stopped at one lovely big tree with blooming flowers on it.She hadn’t seen a tree so beautiful and spectacular.There was something special about it.It was something that she saw in her self.

She went home and told her mum and dad about the  special tree that she saw.But when she got there she could smell macaroni and cheese.She felt a little pain  in her tummy.She said “ I am so hungry.When she stepped in she could smell the steam coming from the oven.She rubbed her tummy as she stepped in.When she got to the dinner table,she told her mum and dad all about the tree.She told  them that the tree reminded me of someone.Then she went and showed her mum and dad about the tree.”See “,she said it.I looks like someone I know.”

Her mum said,”That used to be grandma’s special tree.She always came here to relax.”When we moved grandma put a little picture of her on the trunk of the tree.The next morning,Serena woke up and ate her breakfast and then she went to visit the tree when she got there, these three men were trying to cut down the tree.Then she told them that the tree  was special because that tree was my grandma if you cut it down I will lose all the memory I had with my grandma and it is very important to me.

So please don’t cut it down it is very precious.Haven’t you notice one of the man said this tree was planted years ago so we have to cut it down.What is the name of the tree Serena said the name of the tree is the Pohutukawa tree it is very old and we need to cut it down.
