The Wishing Tree

A young boy worries about troubles at home and his neighbor's troubles as well. He finds peace in a nearby park, where he nurtures the flowers. As he rests beneath a strong oak tree, he drifts into a slumber. When he awakens, he feels revived, though he doesn't know why! As the boy becomes a young man, a father, a park ranger, a grandfather, and a great-grandfather, he continues to care for the park and rest under the tree. As we watch his journey through life, we learn the magic that can happen to caring people!
