The Giving Tree

i remember my father telling me this story 4 or 5 years ago. back then, i didn't fully understand how remarkably simple and yet powerful and moving it is. well, now i do, and this very simple children's tale is now officially one of the best books i have ever come across, if not the best. the cartoon makes it all the more impactful: a lone man telling his story, with nothing but time and a harmonica. truly amazing.
