 Reading 2: The Wisdom of the Old Oak Tree

In a small village nestled at the edge of a dense forest, there stood a majestic old oak tree. Its
branches stretched wide, providing shade and shelter to all who sought its wisdom. For
generations, villagers would gather under its canopy to listen to stories passed down from
elders.

One day, a young boy named Sam wandered into the forest and found himself beneath the
ancient oak. Intrigued by its presence, he decided to ask the tree a question. "Old Oak, how
can one find true wisdom?" he asked, his voice barely above a whisper. The tree rustled gently
in response, its leaves shimmering in the dappled sunlight. "Wisdom comes not from books
alone, but from observing the world around you," the tree replied in a deep, resonant voice.
"Pay attention to the lessons of nature, and listen to the stories shared by those who have lived
through hardships and joys."

Sam nodded thoughtfully, absorbing the tree's words. From that day on, he visited the oak
regularly, learning about patience from the slow growth of its branches and resilience from its
ability to weather storms.

Years passed, and Sam grew into a wise young man known for his compassion and
understanding. He often shared the wisdom he had gained from the old oak with others,
