The Wishing Tree
El Árbol de los Deseos
In a small town, there lived a boy named Lesha.
En un pequeño pueblo vivía un niño llamado Lesha.
He was very curious and asked his mother different things every day.
Era muy curioso y cada día le hacía diferentes preguntas a su mamá.
“Mom, why is the sun warm?” he asked one day.
— Mamá, ¿por qué el sol es cálido? — preguntó un día.
“To keep us and everything around us warm,” his mother replied.
— Para calentarnos a nosotros y a todo lo que nos rodea — respondió su mamá.
One day, Lesha heard from a neighbor that there was a special tree in the old park.
Un día, Lesha escuchó de un vecino que en el viejo parque había un árbol especial.
They said that if you came up to it and quietly made a wish, it would come true.
Decían que si te acercabas y le decías en voz baja tu deseo, este se cumpliría.
The next day, Lesha took an apple, some water, and went to the park.
Al día siguiente, Lesha tomó una manzana, un poco de agua y fue al parque.
He walked along a narrow path and finally saw a big tree with thick branches.
Caminó por un sendero estrecho y finalmente vio un gran árbol con ramas gruesas.
The wind gently rustled the leaves, and it seemed the tree was calling him.
El viento movía suavemente las hojas, y parecía que el árbol lo llamaba.
Lesha closed his eyes and whispered, “I want all people to be kind and to smile.”
Lesha cerró los ojos y susurró: «Quiero que todas las personas sean amables y sonrían».
He touched the tree’s bark and went home.
Acarició la corteza del árbol y volvió a casa.
The next day, he noticed that people on the street smiled more often.
Al día siguiente, notó que la gente en la calle sonreía más a menudo.
In the store, he was given a candy, and a neighbor helped carry his bag.
En la tienda le regalaron un caramelo y un vecino le ayudó a llevar su bolsa.
Lesha understood: when you wish good for others, the good comes back to you.
Lesha comprendió que cuando deseas el bien a los demás, ese bien vuelve a ti.
Moral: even a small kind wish can make the world better.
Moraleja: incluso un pequeño deseo amable puede hacer que el mundo sea mejor.
