This week’s photo prompt is provided by Shivangi Singh. Thank you Shivangi for our photo prompt!
We Were Told It Could Not Be Done
“Do you believe it?” Cutter said.
“No! I’m looking right at it and I don’t believe it” Sawman exclaimed.
“We have cut and sawed on this tree all day. Yet, it seems to have grown bigger and stronger with each passing hour!” they said in amazement.
The tree just laughed with the whispers of the wind and covered the workers with shade.
Little did they know, that the tree was a secret scientific project of the boy who lived in the house it stood beside.
The boy was known as the genius of the neighborhood.

Haha, his scientific project sure did work! I bet it’d drive the workers crazy Trying to figure out the tree’s secret.

They could be cutting that tree for weeks! I guess he made a “diehard” tree. 🙂

Hahaha! I love that this is a magic tree and cannot be cut down! LOL! Jessie, I hope you don’t mind, but I linked your story up with the InLinkz Story Board. I was only able to do this because I follow you and was able to get your URL off of the story in my mail. Also, the only pictures it allowed me to connect with your story was from your drawings and paintings.

Thank you, Joy! 🙂 I’m not familiar with InLinkz Story Board, but linking the story is fine with me. I don’t know how it works or how you can connect pictures with the story.

Thanks so much! We could save a lot of trees that way…maybe even prevent them from burning in all the fires that take place each year.

They could be there a long time. If only such an invention was available to replace some of the trees that have been torn down around the world.

Thank you! So true. It would work out better if there were a certain amount of control …some trees must be removed to allow for progress like housing, roads and etc.

I’ll never look at the little boy – down the hall from us – the same again.
