What is the biggest tree you've ever seen? I can assure you this one was bigger. 500 feet tall and as wide as a cabin. It was 1866 in Pennsylvania. The Frances family lived in the same woods as the tree. Right next to it actually. The woods were nice. Trees as far as the eye could see. It smelled of pine and it was fall, cold as ever. You could see your breath and the air tasted bitter. One  day Pete Frances (or papa) went out to cut down the tree. He didn't know, but he was getting into  big trouble. It was surprisingly easy to cut town the tree. What can I say, if you haven't already figured it out the tree was Magic. There were seven branches on the tree, so papa built seven chairs, one for each of his kids. Clara, Jhon, Wilbur, Elory, Mark,, Mary, and Clide. One week later, papa died.
