It was the festival of life at Augusta Park at the 900 years old tree when a volcano erupted and destroyed the other trees, except the 900 year old tree: it protected all the millions of families. One person fainted and that's the story of the last tree standing. So we have planted some more so in fifty years those trees will be very big, the festival of life continues for ever and ever so the magic only happens every fifty years. p.s. I hope you enjoy
