THE WISH TREE

Flash fiction

It was so pretty. The tree known as the wish tree rested in front of a lovely ocean view.

It was called the wish tree because it was such a beautiful tree and many thought it to have special abilities.

Some brought it small tokens or gifts and laid them at the bottom thinking it would give them good luck.

Whether it did or not was to be seen. No one said.

But people still came and wished upon it. Then there was some that just sat underneath it and enjoyed the tree for itself.

Some thought that was better and maybe you got luck from that.

There was always ones though that tried to get the tree to perform its magic and some were quite inventive.

But there was once a cat that came by to investigate and sniffed around and leaped up into the branches and climbed almost to the top of the tree.

The cat was not afraid as he could see far and wide. The tree suddenly shook a bit and the cat started to climb down but got stuck.

Now he couldn’t get down. He meowed but no one heard him.

It was getting late now and the cat really wanted down now so he could go home.

Along came a young man who saw the cat. He started to climb the branches to where the cat was.

He got the cat and got down and let him go. The cat meowed and rubbed up against his legs and then took off.

The young man looked up into the tree and admired it.

He was about to walk away when something stopped him and he turned.

There stood a beautiful woman. He looked around to where she might have come from.

She smiled at him and said hello. He was so stunned that he couldn’t reply back.

The wish tree blew a breeze at him taking him out of his shock.

She walked up to him and offered him her hand.

He took it and they walked away.

It was said that the young man got thanked for saving the cat and the wishing tree knew what he wanted the most and that was true love.

So, the wishing tree granted his wish even though he never asked for anything.
