Introduction
• Once upon a time, there lived a big mango tree.
• A little boy loved to come and play around it everyday.
• He climbed to the tree top, ate the mangoes, took a nap under the shadow… He loved the tree and the tree loved to play with him.
• Time went by… The little boy grew, and he no longer played around the tree.

Introduction
• One hot summer day, the man returned and the tree was delighted.
• “Come and play with me!” The tree said.• “I am sad and getting old. I want to go sailing to
relax myself. Can you give me a boat?”• “Use my trunk to build your boat. You can sail far

Palliative care

the symptoms of a serious or chronic illness
but does not cure it.
