Round leaf delight

In the forest there were some very special trees that were known as Bark Shapers.  These Bark Shaper trees ruled the forest in that they would be able to visit all of the trees and mold their bark into beautiful looking tree trunks.  It was a very special job and really only the ones with round shaped leaves were capable of doing this properly.  As well, only the trees with light blue bows were capable of growing a truly round leaf.  It was special and the best of the best would all have a name plate in front of their house.  They also really needed to have a good swing out front.  If they didnt have a swing at all it was a sad day because they could still shape the bark on the trees but their designs did not last the duration of the trees lifes.   In fact there were some new tree ideas in the forest that came about one day that instead of round leaves, maybe the tree bark molders could have oval shaped leaves.  This seemed very useful and it did have its day.  They made alot of tree bark happy but it never was really a bark that liked to smile at the Power Tree.  In fact some of these with the oval shaped bark never even liked the magazine articles from the Power tree and they only wanted to be seen as hero trees in the forest of the Tree God.   The Tree God was amused a little bit by the oval tree bark shapers, but the Tree God swore that only the round leafed ones would be profitable in the real Tree world.  And so it was. 
Once the Oval Tree bark shapers noticed that the trees with pink bows might be happy with oval leaves too. These pink bowed oval tree bark shapers tried their best but never could shape the tree bark.  It felt good to the trees whose bark they touched with their tree bark touching hands. But in the long run they never were able to mold any of their tree barks.  This did not make anyone tree bronze irregularly (the trees eventually became bronzed and did not continue to drink the water in the forest).  But that said, no tree that ever had a pink bowed tree bark molder ever was happy in the Tree world of the shadows.  It was a good world to be in the forest but every tree needed to consider that after he or she was bronzed he would exist in a shadow world.  It was a blessing to be happy there.  That was the goal of living in the forest as well. To go to the tree world in the shadows for the rest of the existence of Tree knowledge and order.
