Chapter (4) I SAW A TREEA Chapter by MAD ENGLISHMANI SAW A TREE A tall tree stands straight
and strong, A century or more in this place. A developer sees the tree and
imagines it gone, He sees houses in the space.
A merchant looks at the tree
and works out what percentage he can take, A carpenter looks at the tree
and imagines the furniture he can make. A boy sees the tree and imagines a swing, A bird sees the tree as somewhere to sing. The Bear sees the tree and sharpens his claw, and all of this from a tree that I saw.
