Write a letter to a character

Dear Tree,

I like your charaters because you would care for everyone else other than yourself. You would give everything up just to have some quality time with the boy. You have proven to be a worthy friend through your action like giving fruits, branches and roots to the boy. Still, the boy did not appreciate the tree. You have given everything up but still your kindness surpases anyone I ever known because you have the boy the very same kindness the first day you met the boy. If I was given a chance, I definitely would like to be your friend.

This is because my family is counting on me to follow my sister's footsteps.
