The Human Tree
Once upon a time, a huge meteor collided with Jupiter. The meteor took off a big chunk of Jupiter and made a new planet. The new planet was called Earth. The planet Earth was bare except this one mysterious tree. Once a day this tree would drop a baby out from the top of the tree. This tree was God’s tree and he created all humans to look exactly like him, so the humans could rule the world. The human had a head, two arms, and two legs. After a year there were 365 humans on Earth. The humans sacrificed the weak humans to God. In return God created an animal tree. Once a day the animal tree would drop two animals, a male and a female of a species. The humans were at the top of the food chain, but they got along and helped the animals whenever they needed something so they species would not go extinct. The humans and the world started to become more evolving. The population just keeps increasing so they humans had to come up with a new food source so they decided they needed to have some vegetation. The humans became able to plant crops, but they had nothing to give the plants energy to grow so God created the sun and the oceans for energy. Then God made the moon so the animals and the humans could see at night. The moon helped the animals watch for predators sneaking up on them while it was dark outside.
One day God’s tree dropped a human named Robert. Robert was different from the rest of the humans. None of the humans wanted to be around Robert. They all started picking on Robert, and calling him names. Then when Robert was alone he started killing all the animals he could. The he used a bone out of a buffalo that he killed and made it into an axe. Robert so mad at all the humans he went to God’s tree and chopped the tree in half. Then the humans realized what he done and tried to plant each half of the tree. Each half of the tree grew, but there was one problem.
