They take and take and take with no reciprocity or concern for what you've lost in the process. And once they've taken everything and are old as shit and you're nothing but a fucking stump they still want to sit on your fucking face.

Seriously. Not sure if it's supposed to represent the sacrifices of a parent for their child or what but fuck that boy.

I don't know what it's supposed to represent but it always makes me feel really bad when I read it. Especially for the poor tree.

In retrospect I think it's a Jesus allegory, but schools don't play that up for obvious reasons

I think even that isn't fair b/c even Jesus expects SOMEthing in return. That you be loving, kind to others, giving, etc. It's the blatant one-sidedness with zero gratitude on the part of the boy that makes it such a fucked up story.

Yeah I always thought it had something to do with environmentalism or something. Whoever wrote it seems failry pessimistic about the nature of man.

Pretty interesting and many people definitely hold the view that it's a fucked up story.

I went to Catholic school and never heard that. When was the last time Jesus gave you a bunch of apples to sell?

I think you mean "The Rugged Individualist: Maximization of Resources in a Time of Scarcity"

And yes, it's my son's favorite bedtime story.

I assume you mean the above. If any kids fav bedtime story is the giving tree, said kid should be eliminated from humanity ASAP.

The giving tree loved the worthless pos kid and wanted him to sit with her. It was a horrible fucked up book.
