And the tree loved the Master for His beauty and His goodness; and when He came to the forest it was full of joy, but when He came not it was sad. AND THE TREE LOVED THE MASTER FOR HIS BEAUTY AND HIS GOODNESS AND WHEN HE CAME TO THE FOREST IT WAS FULL OF JOY BUT WHEN HE CAME NOT IT WAS SAD
 a strange and glorious delight. Then He stooped and kissed the tree, and then He turned and went away. Many times after that the Master came to the forest, and when He came it always was to where the tree stood. Many times He rested beneath the tree and enjoyed the shade of its foliage, and listened to the music of the wind as it swept through the rustling leaves. Many times He slept there, and the tree watched over Him, and the forest was still, and all its voices were hushed. And the angel hovered near like a faithful sentinel. Ever and anon men came with the Master to the forest, and sat with Him in the shade of the tree, and talked with Him of matters which the tree never could understand; only it heard that the talk was of love and charity and gentleness, and it saw that the Master was beloved and venerated by the others. It heard them tell of the Master's goodness and humility,--how He had healed the sick and raised the dead and bestowed inestimable blessings wherever He walked.
