you think he could have squeezed a leafjob or something out of it too, but otherwise good job.

It's a pretty terrible lesson to teach kids, yeah - "just keep taking, and the thing/person you take from will still love you after you've destroyed it".

>>9116298
it's not a lesson, it's the most beautiful affirmation a parent could make and an understanding narrative of selfishness and the forgiveness of that selfishness

But it continues through the boy's entire life, long after he should have taken on the provider role himself. If it ended with him planting a tree for the next generation I'd probably like it more.

That's the point though, desu senpai. If he had planted a tree at the end of it, nobody would be talking about it or remember it. And 'paying it back' isn't the point. If generosity and sacrifice only exists because there's some return on the investment, then it isn't actually generosity and sacrifice.

Dude the tree is like God and we just take from him.

I prefer this version.

>Hey dipshit, IT'S A FUCKING TREE! Yes, take what the fuck you want from it! If you feel bad about it, plant 10 fucking trees one saturday! Fuck it in it's gay, non fighting back tree ass.
