Tree of NowA lesson in patience, hope, and actionNarrator In a garden where time seemed to blend and bend, an old sundial stood surrounded by wildflowers, marking not just hours—but missed opportunities.Timmy Mrs. Parker, why does everyone say we should've planted trees long ago? Isn't it too late now?Mrs. Parker People say that because time moves on, Timmy. So, when we look at tall trees, we wish we’d started sooner. But time is a curious thing...Timmy So, does that mean we missed our chance?Mrs. Parker Not at all! The best time may have been years ago... but the second best is right now. Every big tree started with a tiny seed planted by someone who didn’t wait for the perfect moment.Timmy So, if I plant one today, maybe someone will thank me in 25 years?Mrs. Parker Exactly! But you’ll thank yourself too, because planting hope is never wasted. The future grows from actions we take now, not regrets from yesterday.Plot: The best time to plant a tree was 25 years ago. The second best time to plant a tree is right now +Theme: Rendered in the style of vintage surrealism, featuring muted pastel tones and intricate floral patterns.
