A young boy plays
with a tree and loves it. He swings from the trees branches and eats apples
and climbs her trunk. But the boy grows older and doesn’t spend as much time

Short synopsis
This book is mainly
about the horrible and unpleasant treatment poor innocent Baudelaire
children were struggling to avoid. The story begins with an awful beginning
and it equally ends. This book will keep you from boringness and will put
you in shock, so you can either take it, or throw it at the very top of a
hill.
