Long, long ago, in a small village, there was a beautiful mountain cherry tree. This cherry tree was very special to the villagers. Every spring, it bloomed with beautiful flowers, brightening up the entire village.
One year, a great disaster struck the village during winter. A long-lasting cold snap and heavy snow killed all the crops, leaving the villagers to suffer from hunger. Diseases also spread, and the villagers began to lose hope.
Among them, the oldest woman in the village said, “The mountain cherry tree gives us hope. If the tree blooms in the spring, we will find happiness again.” The villagers believed her words and decided to pray to the cherry tree.
Every day, the villagers gathered around the cherry tree, praying and taking good care of it. However, as the cold winter continued, their spirits weakened.
One day, a young villager said, “We must take better care of the cherry tree. Is there anything we can do to help it bloom?” The villagers thought hard.
They decided to wrap warm cloth around the tree’s roots, bring water, and do everything they could to protect the tree. Everyone worked together, and even during the cold winter, they continued to care for the tree.
Finally, spring arrived. The villagers anxiously waited to see if the cherry tree would bloom. One morning, they were amazed to find the mountain cherry tree in full bloom with beautiful flowers. The entire village brightened, and hope returned.
The villagers were filled with joy and gratitude. Thanks to the cherry tree, happiness returned to the village. From then on, the villagers continued to cherish the cherry tree, and every spring, they enjoyed its beautiful blossoms.
