The Tree of Courage

The Tree of Courage

Finished

Mameta is a timid five-year-old boy who lives with his grandfather in a house with a giant horse-chestnut tree in the yard. Every night, he wakes his grandfather to accompany him to the outhouse, too scared to go alone. His grandfather tells him a legend: once a year, on November 20, a single brave child can see a light shining in the tree. But Mameta is still too frightened to look.

One night, his grandfather suffers from intense stomach pain. Forgetting his fears, Mameta races barefoot down the mountain to summon the doctor. On the way back, riding on the doctor's back, he finally sees the light in the tree. Yet, even after this, he continues to ask his grandfather to go with him to the outhouse. The story's lesson is that having a caring heart gives one the strength to do what is necessary, even if one still feels timid.
