The Monkey and the Tree Melissa K. Rath

This is the story of a tree that lives alone on a hill and scares away all the other animals because it likes things that way. Then one day a monkey comes by and disturbs the trees world. It starts to trim its branches and more until the tree starts to bear fruit, which it had never done before. The tree gets angry and accuses the monkey of being selfish, which hurts the monkey feelings. When the monkey leaves and does not come back, the tree begins to realize the importance of what the monkey was doing for it and how life is better when someone else is in it. But how will this get resolved?
