===**Ha****ve you ever read the book __The Giving Tree__ ? __The Giving Tree__ a book by Shel Silverstein. The book describes a tale of an apple tree that loves a boy and never wants to give him up she wants him to stay with her and play on her. When the boy was little he used to climb her trunk, swing on her branches eat her apples and sleep in her shade. As the boy got older he did not want to do all those things so she kept giving her all the things he needed (hence the term the giving tree). At the end she was just a stump and he was seating on her trunk.**===

===**The giving tree can be portrayed as the relationship between the Nile and the people of Egypt. The people of Egypt rely on the Nile just like the boy and the tree rely on each other. The people of Egypt rely on the Nile for food and water. The tree relies on the boy for someone to give things to. The boy relies on the tree for a house, money, and a boat.**===
