Story 1: The Promise Under the Tree
On a flat, green field, there stood a tall tree. Many trees surrounded it, but this one was special. A man and a woman met there every day.
His name was Tom, and her name was Lisa. He loved her very much, and she loved him too.
One day, Tom said to Lisa, "I promise you something special." He took her hand in his hands. "I promise to marry you under this tree."
Lisa smiled. She pressed his hand gently. "I accept your promise," she said.
The next spring, they married. Now Lisa was married to Tom. Many adults came to watch. Men and women, young and old, stood in a circle around them.
He carried her in his arms after the ceremony. Everyone took pictures - beautiful pictures of the happy couple. The music started, and people danced on the green grass.
Tom and Lisa started their new life together as a family.
Story 2: The Thin Stone Circle
Years passed. Tom and Lisa now had a family - two children who loved to sleep under the trees.
One day, while the children slept, Tom decided to cut a special gift. He found a thin piece of wood and cut it into a circle. Then he searched for smooth stones by the river.
He found three beautiful stones - one flat, one round, and one thin. Tom pressed the stones into the wood circle to make a decoration.
But he cut his hand! It hurt badly. "This hurts!" he said. The cut was not deep, but it was burning. The pain was hard to bear.
Lisa came carrying medicine. "Let me help you," she said. She carefully pressed the medicine on his hand.
"You work too hard," Lisa told him. "Come and rest."
They sat together, and she showed him a picture - a picture of their family. In the picture, their children were sleeping peacefully under the trees.
Tom smiled. The pain had hurt, but seeing his family made everything better.
Story 3: The Family Picnic
The next Sunday, the family went for a picnic. They walked through the flat valley until they found a perfect spot under some trees.
Lisa carried a basket. Tom carried his guitar for music. The children ran ahead, carrying their toys.
They spread a blanket on the green grass. Lisa cut a cake into pieces - many small pieces of cake for everyone.
"Taste this!" she said to the children. They tasted the cake. "It tastes delicious!" they said.
Tom started playing music on his guitar. The children danced in a circle, holding hands. Round and round they went, their arms moving to the music.
An old woman walked by. She stopped to listen. "Beautiful music," she said. "You have a lovely family."
More adults came - men and women from the village. They all sat in a big circle, listening to the music and tasting the food.
As the sun set, the children grew tired. They slept under the trees, their thin blankets carrying them into dreams.
Tom and Lisa held hands, watching their children sleep. "We are likely the luckiest family in the world," Tom said.
Lisa pressed his hand and smiled. She agreed. Under the trees, with the green grass beneath them and the stars above, their family was complete.
