Once upon a time, a little boy named Henry loved to climb trees. One day, Henry decided to climb the tallest tree in China. It was 15 floors high, but it had no leaves because of damage from a flash of lightning many years ago.

Henry read about this tree and learned that there was a hole at the top of the tree. If he could find a magic stone named Sorchamgopher at the top of a mountain and put it into the tree’s hole, the tree would grow leaves again.

Henry’s adventure began when he went to find the magic stone. He asked his friends if they wanted to go. They followed him. They went through a scary forest. They climbed a mountain. They walked and walked, and at last, they found the stone.

Then, Henry and his friends went to the tallest tree, and Henry was surprised. It was taller than 15 floors. It was like a 20-floor building.

However, Henry was brave.

He thought, “Was all of that hard work for nothing? I must try.”

To begin with, Henry took the stone from his friend’s hand and climbed up the tree. Although his friend told him to come back down, Henry did not listen.

He said, “We cannot just give up!”

After 10 minutes of climbing, Henry reached the top. All of his friends cheered as he put the stone into the hole and quickly climbed down.

Eventually, the tree grew leaves again. It was an oak tree! Not only was everyone happy, but also all the people living around the oak tree felt its magic.
