The Legend Of The Baobab

Anna here,
Today I am going to tell you a story about a tree.

THE LEGEND OF THE BAOBAB TREE

Among the first trees God created in Africa was the mighty Baobab.Next came the tall slender palm tree and when the baobab saw it, it cried out it wanted to be taller. Then God made the flame tree with its beautiful flowers and the Baobab was envious and asked God to give it flowers. Then the Baobab saw the magnificent Fig tree with its foliage and fruit and again cried out to God demanding fruit. God was very angry and pulled the Baobab up by its roots and turned it upside down to keep it quiet. This is the reason for the unusual shape of the Baobab tree.

Last night we decorated the Christmas tree... but not the normal Christmas tree,
it is a Baobab tree made out of banana leaves.

Thank you for listening to the story and I hope you enjoyed it.
