Apples and Baseballs

Many years after the forest was planted, a Tree came along in the forest that many of the trees did not really feel was a smart enough Tree. But forunately for this tree, the Tree God had a plan for his existence.  He grew up and produced baseballs on his branches and he liked to throw the baseballs at the Hose some of the time and really like pelting the stump named Pickles with a baseball once in a while.  This distracted the children.  Some were curious and some were angry. But it made sure that neither of these children realized that the Tree God was making the forest solely for their own benefit alone.  That was the problem.  The children who did not like the Trees very much really thought that the purpose of the forest was either the baklava squirting hose or the stump that changed colors.  This was ok with the Tree God but he didn't like it when they attacked the existence of the Trees. So the Tree that threw baseballs came along and just threw baseballs. It sort of worked but it was not going to last forever either.  They were really soft throws.  The Tree that is here described was intelligent and fair.  He actually smelled like the carnations that the Rose Garden really liked but the people of the Rose Garden were really not ready to smell the carnations very much. True they looked good and they all ordered them in bouquets, but that was not the need that the Tree God created the carnations for.  These carnations had a Big Truth and that was that they were intelligently designed and had a good calling.  They all were all over the earth.  A few other trees indeed smelled of this carnation and a good number of the weeds did as well. It wasn't exactly what the forest had thought it would befriend, a plant or tree that smelled of a carnation, but the Forest realized that the Tree God loved carnations and it was actually a blessing and honor to smell this way.  So carnations might someday find their way into the Rose Gardens Power Tree's ecosystem.  It remains to be seen, but I predict that someday someone who smells like a Carnation really changes the forest for the better.  Maybe it will be the tree that threw soft pitch baseballs.  There were already a few carnation smelling weeds that made latkes for the trees, that made diamonds for the top of the Power tree, that made walls for the protected Tree Growing Area. But few people knew this.   The carnation smelling trees were a brotherhood in fact and they really looked good.  They had a beautiful way of life and each one had a special life giving apple to give to one another. It was really terrific but noone in the forest except the carnation smelling life knew what type of apple that was and its a secret to even myself.
