“when i say i’ve seen it all, i mean i’ve really seen it all.  trunks like mine don’t get this thick overnight!  no ma’am.  i’ve been growing and watching over this land for longer than i care to remember.  i’m the only one now, but i used to have acres of company!  one by one the others vanished- perished of illness or were uprooted by giants from above.  it’s a shame really that i’m the only one left to see this beautiful sunset.  that’s ok, i will keep it for myself.  look how my branches glow!”
