The winding tree

Once upon a time there was a girl in the world. Other children did not want to be friends with her and teased that she was not like everyone else. Once the girl was very much offended by them and ran into the forest in tears. There she found an amazing tree: the roots and the trunk were wriggled like grape vines, and the branches twisted like curls, and stretched to the sky. The winding tree told the girl a story about her past, and she realized that it was not bad to differ from others.
