Mango Tree Like Me

       A tree is defined as a woody plant that has many secondary branches supported clear of the ground on a single main stem or trunk with clear apical dominance. If I were a tree, I want to be a mango tree. Mango trees are large trees, reaching ten to 30 meters in height, with a broad, rounded canopy that may attain 30 to 38 meters in width. The mango tree is known for its longevity, with some specimens being noted to still bear fruit at 300 years of age. Leaves are lanceolate to linear, glossy evergreen in color, and have prominent light colored veins and entire margins. Fully grown leaves may be ten to 32 cm long and two to five cm broad, and may persist for several years.

      I chose this tree because we have certain similarities with each other. The mango tree has shady leaves that protect humans from sunlight while resting under a tree. Like me, I am very protective. I protect my family from illness by reminding them to drink their medicines and telling them that the food that they are eating are not allowed to them. The mango tree is also known for its longevity. Like me,  my feelings take a long time to forget. Example, if my parents scold me for a mistake that I have done, it takes a long time for me to forget that. Unlike others, the words that they heard from their parents just gone out from their ear. This tree also bears a mango fruit that is very delicious. Like me, I always give love and care to others by giving them my full respect.

     I consider myself a giving tree because I show my love for others by giving them my full respect. Like the tree, it gives a mango fruit that provides food to humans and it symbolizes  prosperity.  It symbolizes prosperity because the fruit is rich in love and care that came from the heart of the tree.
