  • The Story of the Coconut Tree

Good evening, everyone!

I’m _____________ from 6 Al-


Khawarizmi. Today, I would like to tell you “The Story of
the Coconut Tree”. So, sit back, relax, and enjoy!

There was once an old man. He was very, very old.


Some people said he was a thousand years old!
He was also very wise and he knew many things. Many people
came to visit him in his cave near the sea. They always asked
him to help them.

One day, a young man came to see this wise old man. "O wise
father," said the young man, "I want to be useful to people. I
want to serve them all my life. How can I do this?"

"That's very good," said the old man. "Here is a magic box.
Do not open it until you reach home. If you open it now
something will happen to you.

"Thank you, wise father," said the young man. He took the
box and left. When he was out of the cave, he stopped. "I
wonder what is in the box?" he said to himself. "I'm going to
look."

He opened the box and at once he turned into a tall tree—a


coconut tree. That was his punishment for disobeying the old
man, but his still had his wish because the coconut tree is
very useful to people.

The moral of the story is you should be careful with what


you wish for. That’s all from me. Thank you.
