A gypsy sat against a tree with his guitar and he looked up and said
I would love to be like you
Why?
Asked the tree
I’m too tired to walk around the earth… not finding a safe place
Answered the gypsy
Would you like to exchange my roots for your legs?
Asked the tree
Yes… it would be great… I need to dwell in peace for a change
Answered the gypsy
I’d love to travel…
Said the tree
Before you make up your mind I will play my world in a song for you
Said the gypsy
And after he played the first verse some big drops fell in his head
He stopped and said I’m sorry I made you cry
Don’t be sorry said the tree it never happened to me before
Thanks to your power I can nurture the dry soil with my tears
I can even create a stream for the thirsty animals
But I also know happy songs said the gypsy
And while he played
Birds assembled in all the branches of the tree
The gypsy and the tree became friends
