The Bad Tree

Click on the picture to see it big.


Kayla drew and painted this great picture when she was five. See all the cute fairies and their houses? Kayla said that the tree was bad, but it was acting friendly (and she showed me how his branch arm was around the Queen fairy's house, the yellow one).

The little girl fairies were trying to get the apples off the tree because they were hungry, and the apples looked delicious. But the Queen fairy was telling them to get away from the tree.

We talked about how if the tree is bad, then the fruit is bad too. Here's a Bible verse where Jesus says this too:

"Either make the tree good and its fruit good, or else make the tree bad and its fruit bad; for a tree is known by its fruit." Matthew 12:33

Grown-ups: children are very smart, and we can learn a lot from them!

Discovery (Help Me Write A Story)

Click on the picture to see it really big.


Let's write a story together to go with this picture!!

  • What shall we name the little girl?
  • What is she doing?
  • What has she discovered?
  • What is on the other side of the gate?
  • Is this a secret garden?
  • How did she find it?
  • What creatures do you see in the picture?
  • What should their names be?
  • What is going to happen next?
  • Is it a sad or happy picture?
  • How will the story end?

Thanks so much for giving me your ideas. I'll collect some, and then write the story for you to read, OK?

See you later!

;)
