In a city, there lived a beautiful girl whose name was Ella.

She was tall, dark skinned, with black hair. She had captivating eyes.

Ella had a beautiful set of pearl-white teeth. She was a kind and hardworking girl. She never gave her parents problems.

The only thing that bothered her parents was her curiosity. She asked very unusual questions.

For example, when her pencil broke, Ella asked her mother, "Mommy, did my pencil go to heaven?"

Sometimes her parents did not know how to respond to Ella's many questions so, they kept quiet.

However, Ella's brother, Henry, always listened to Ella's questions. When it was raining she asked, "Is the rain in the cloud crying?"

Her brother laughed and answered "No!" He went on to explain that rain falls when vapour in the atmosphere cools.

One day, she decided to go out for a stroll. As she walked, she saw an apple tree and accidentally broke it's branch.

"Oh, no! It needs a doctor," Ella said. Surprisingly, the tree answered. "Yes, I need a doctor."

Ella was shocked and asked, "How can you talk?" The tree replied, "I am a tree that can answer all your questions."

Ella asked again, "Why can't the boy hear you?" The tree replied, "Because he did not ask."

Ella ran to her brother and told him what happened. Both of them quickly ran to the tree. Henry asked, "Are you real?"

The tree replied, "I am real." They both danced with joy.

Since then, they never disturbed their parents again.

Any time they had a question, they went to the apple tree and it answered their questions.
