Dear project members, thank you for participating in the story writing activity ' Think About Your Future, Always Protect Your Environment ' eTwinning project final product 'Poor Plane Tree'

    In a park in the middle of a big and crowded city, there lived an old, imposing plane tree. This tree was so old that the whole city knew it as Cinar Dede. All the children loved him like their own grandfather. 

    All day long, he would sing songs to the saplings with its green leaves, hug the animals tightly with its huge branches, tell stories to the children with her sweet voice, and see the people who live with joy and be happy.

    One day, a large vehicle was seen. Çınar Dede was very excited when he saw the new guests. Just as he was about to say 'Welcome' with joy, the vehicle started pouring concrete on the land next to the park.

Çınar Dede, who saw the concrete pouring, froze in surprise. He was also very upset. Hours followed hours, days followed, but Çınar Dede was not talking to anyone. He was almost embittered by life. He was just shedding tears, the spilled tears were flowing like a flood.

The children who saw this and the other residents of the park were very worried about the fact that Çınar Dede got sick and dried up and disappeared. they got together one day and started making plans to restore Çınar Dede. However, everyone had a different opinion and could not reach a common decision.In the end, everyone decided to apply their own point of view. 

The cats in the park climbed up to Çınar Dede's highest branch and pretended that they couldn't get down and asked Çınar Dede for help by shouting bitterly. But Çınar Dede does not hear the        cries of pain, even if he hears it, he does not          react, but only cries. 

It was the turn of the squirrels in the park. They brought all the nuts they could find in the surrounding trees to Çınar Dede and offered them. But Çınar Dede did not even look at any of them.

This time, it was the turn of the children who came to the park every day, who loved Çınar Dede more than their own grandparents. 

Some were three, some were four, some were five. They were small in age, but their hearts were huge. They all came together and they had to find a cure for Çınar Dede. And finally, they came up with a great idea.

The children loved to play together the most. They would feel so happy. The old tree would be their new friend. They would never leave him alone.

They were sad to see the old tree alone. Because it's always better to be together and have fun together. They went to him and played there. Since they had so much fun with the old tree, they thought of visiting it every day.

Every morning when they woke up they met by the old tree. They repeated every day that they loved him very much. They hugged him and played games around him.

Children came and showed their affection to Çınar Dede but there was a problem. He wasn't happy. What was the problem for Çınar Dede? Was he bored of children or visitors?
