The Tree That Made Me Faint Twice

This story by Mannan is one of the three winning entries of a writing contest conducted for Blogchatter’s Junior Writers Group.

One day, I went to the local park for a picnic with my friends. I ran straight to the slides and voilà!

A purple-coloured tree stood right in front of the slide.

It definitely wasn’t there yesterday.

I heard birds chirping, so I looked up. There were at least fifty nests in that tree. I was taken aback.

Curious, I reached out and touched the bark. It was smooth unlike any tree I’d ever seen.

Then I noticed fruits hanging from the branches. I picked one and took a bite.

It tasted like chocolate!

I quickly grabbed another. It tasted like strawberry!

I tried one more and it tasted just like vanilla ice cream.

I was so amazed…
I fainted right there on the spot.

When I woke up in my bed at home, I had no idea how I got there. That’s when I realized…

It was all a dream.

I was so stunned…

I fainted again.
