Kim was a 12 years old kid who lived in a village for years before

moving to the city centre. He had so many trees in his village but
when they moved to the city centre, he felt like he needed to plant a
tree but he didnt know how to.
Kim looked into a shooping site and picked out one of the seeds and
started to wait it to be delivered.
Finally, the seed was delivered but he had a problem in planting. His
grandfather helped him and they planted the seed.
Years later, he came to see that tree. Kim sat beneath the tree and
he wondered if he had contributed to making the world a better
place. While thinking, he fell asleep under the tree.
