Its branches spread out majestically and so did its roots. It shielded people from the sun under its shady leaves, and provided shelter to countless birds and other small creatures in its branches. It buzzed with activity all the time.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;At the foot of the tree grew a little plant. The plant was willowy and delicate, and tended to keel over at the touch of the slightest breeze.&lt;/p&gt;</description></item><item><title>Treehuggers</title><link>https://www.pitara.com/fiction-for-kids/poems-for-kids/treehuggers/</link><pubDate>Sun, 27 Jan 2002 05:51:43 +0000</pubDate><guid>https://www.pitara.com/fiction-for-kids/poems-for-kids/treehuggers/</guid><description>&lt;p&gt;Children of the fragile forest gather around&lt;br&gt;

A place where we all proudly hug the trees.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Hug trees for the walnuts and sweet apples&lt;br&gt;
For the shade above small country chapels&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;For giving squirrel and crow a place to live&lt;br&gt;

Big trees, tall trees, stately trees….all come alive with the cries and activities of the numerous birds and insects living on them, the age old myths associated with them and the author’s personal comments, witty and insightful. Indeed, in many places, especially in villages in India, trees are quite inseparable from the way of life of the people.&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;</description></item><item><title>Trees of Delhi – Under the Axe!</title><link>https://www.pitara.com/news-for-kids/world-news/trees-of-delhi-under-the-axe/</link><pubDate>Tue, 14 Nov 2006 12:52:38 +0000</pubDate><guid>https://www.pitara.com/news-for-kids/world-news/trees-of-delhi-under-the-axe/</guid><description>&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Where: The Capital city of New Delhi, India&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;March 26, 2007: Imagine you are in a city where there are a lot of trees, large parks, open spaces, playgrounds. Slowly, the city starts filling up with more and more people. These people need houses. They need transport, to get from one place to another. They need more schools, more hospitals, more office buildings, more markets, more space. How will they get this space, and who decides which space to use?&lt;/p&gt;</description></item><item><title>Seasons in a Tree’s Rooted Life</title><link>https://www.pitara.com/science-for-kids/planet-earth-for-kids/seasons-in-a-trees-rooted-life/</link><pubDate>Mon, 10 Apr 2000 23:11:37 +0000</pubDate><guid>https://www.pitara.com/science-for-kids/planet-earth-for-kids/seasons-in-a-trees-rooted-life/</guid><description>&lt;figure class="image-portrait-right has-caption"&gt;

&lt;p&gt;You may be very proud of the fact that the orange tree in your garden only comes up to your shoulders, but that is just one part of the tree that you see. Sometimes a tree’s roots, beneath the soil, are much bigger than the parts you see above the ground. It is with these roots a tree looks for water that gives it life, and makes its leaves look shiny, bright and healthy. In fact the leaves need to take in a lot of water to stay that way.&lt;/p&gt;</description></item><item><title>The Tree is an Invisible Heater</title><link>https://www.pitara.com/science-for-kids/planet-earth-for-kids/the-tree-is-an-invisible-heater/</link><pubDate>Sun, 17 Sep 2000 14:36:46 +0000</pubDate><guid>https://www.pitara.com/science-for-kids/planet-earth-for-kids/the-tree-is-an-invisible-heater/</guid><description>&lt;p&gt;Have you ever noticed that bare winter tree in your garden, in the park or in school? Without leaves the tree looks so cold and dry, but surprise of surprises, it keeps the grass below warm. So much so that the tiny blades never get any frost on them.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;In contrast, grass in parks without trees to protect them are usually in white frosty disguise in winters. Why is that so?&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;You would never believe it but that leafless tree acts like a heater to the grass below. It would not be so surprising if we knew that everything on this earth gives off heat or light energy in the form of waves.&lt;/p&gt;</description></item><item><title>पेड़</title><link>https://www.pitara.com/fiction-for-kids/hindi-poems-for-kids/%E0%A4%AA%E0%A5%87%E0%A4%A1%E0%A4%BC/</link><pubDate>Fri, 16 Jan 1998 18:16:26 +0000</pubDate><guid>https://www.pitara.com/fiction-for-kids/hindi-poems-for-kids/%E0%A4%AA%E0%A5%87%E0%A4%A1%E0%A4%BC/</guid><description>&lt;p&gt;आओ इस जंगल में आओ&lt;br&gt;
मत घबराओ&lt;br&gt;
मैं इस जंगल का एक पेड़&lt;br&gt;
तुम्हें बुलाता हूं&lt;br&gt;
अपनी कथा सुनाता हूं&lt;br&gt;
आओ अपने साथियों से&lt;br&gt;
मिलवाता हूं&lt;br&gt;
आओ, छूकर देखो मेरा तना&lt;br&gt;
सीधा और मज़बूत&lt;br&gt;
और ऊपर&lt;br&gt;
मेरी पतली बल खाती&lt;br&gt;
शाखों को देखो&lt;br&gt;
देखो अनगिनत टहनियों को&lt;br&gt;
क्या पूछते हो मेरे दोस्त&lt;br&gt;
वो तो पिछले पतझड़ में गिर गए&lt;br&gt;
लेकिन जल्द ही फिर निकल आएंगे&lt;br&gt;
मेरी डालियों पर लद जाएंगे।&lt;br&gt;
मेरी जड़े नहीं दिखती तुम्हें&lt;br&gt;
लेकिन वे हैं ज़मीन के नीचे&lt;br&gt;
गहराई तक फैली हुई&lt;br&gt;
वही सोखती हैं ज़मीन से पानी&lt;br&gt;
मेरी प्यास बुझाने को&lt;br&gt;
लो फूट आए मेरे हरे भरे कपड़े&lt;br&gt;
लेकिन ये मेरी पोषाक ही नहीं&lt;br&gt;
मेरी पोषाक भी हैं&lt;br&gt;
हवा से खींचते हैं सांस&lt;br&gt;
और सूरज से गर्मी&lt;br&gt;
और बनाते हैं मेरी खुराक।&lt;br&gt;
ये कीड़े मकोड़े&lt;br&gt;
रेंगते, उड़ते, फुदकते हुए&lt;br&gt;
ये सब मेरे दोस्त हैं&lt;br&gt;
मैंने इन्हें&lt;br&gt;
दरारों, छेदों, सुराखों में बसाया है&lt;br&gt;
इनके अंडों को जाड़े गर्मी से बचाया है।&lt;br&gt;
इनके बच्चों को अपने सीने पर सुलाया है।&lt;br&gt;
इसी से खुश होकर&lt;br&gt;
ये गाते हैं गीत&lt;br&gt;
मधुर संगीत&lt;br&gt;
भुन भुन, झिन झिन&lt;br&gt;
और नाचते हैं&lt;br&gt;
सारे सारे दिन।&lt;br&gt;
रंग बिरंगे पंछी&lt;br&gt;
मेरे पास आते हैं&lt;br&gt;
मेरी टहनियों के बीच&lt;br&gt;
अपने घोंसले बनाते हैं&lt;br&gt;
चहकते हैं, गाते हैं&lt;br&gt;
उड़ते हैं, मंडराते हैं&lt;br&gt;
अपने नन्हें मुन्ने बच्चों को&lt;br&gt;
उड़ना सिखाते हैं।&lt;br&gt;
मुझे बच्चे बहुत प्यारे हैं&lt;br&gt;
बच्चों को मैं प्यारा हूं&lt;br&gt;
आते हैं मेरे साए में&lt;br&gt;
ऊधम मचाने&lt;br&gt;
लटकने मेरी डालियों से&lt;br&gt;
झूले बनाने&lt;br&gt;
मेरे खट्ठे मीठे फलों को&lt;br&gt;
चोरी छिपे खाने&lt;br&gt;
मुझे ध्यान से देखो&lt;br&gt;
इस जंगल के&lt;br&gt;
सभी पेड़ों को&lt;br&gt;
प्यार से देखो&lt;br&gt;
हमारा और तुम्हारा&lt;br&gt;
कितना गहरा नाता है&lt;br&gt;
ये जंगल सब प्राणियों के&lt;br&gt;
कितने काम आता है&lt;br&gt;
मेरी लकड़ी से बनी हैं&lt;br&gt;
तुम्हारी मेज़े कुर्सियां&lt;br&gt;
तुम्हारे सोने की चारपाई&lt;br&gt;
तुम्हारे दरवाजे खिड़कियां&lt;br&gt;
और तुम्हारी पेंसिल।&lt;br&gt;
टीचर से पूछो&lt;br&gt;
वो बतलाएंगी कि&lt;br&gt;
मैं बारिश भी करवाता हूं&lt;br&gt;
मिट्टी को बहने से बचाता हूं&lt;br&gt;
बाढ़ भी रूकवाता हूं&lt;br&gt;
और सूखा भी भगाता हूं&lt;br&gt;
ये पूरा जंगल तुम्हारे काम आता है&lt;br&gt;
तुम्हे कितना सुख पहुंचाता है।&lt;br&gt;
लेकिन मुनाफाखोर व्यापारी&lt;br&gt;
इसे अंधाधुंध कटवाता है&lt;br&gt;
नए पेड़ नहीं लगवाता है&lt;br&gt;
रोको रोको&lt;br&gt;
उस लोभी को रोको&lt;br&gt;
ऐसा करने से उसे टोको&lt;br&gt;
नहीं तो एक दिन&lt;br&gt;
ये जंगल खत्म हो जाएगा&lt;br&gt;
सिर्फ ठूंठों का एक श्मशान रह जाएगा।&lt;/p&gt;</description></item><item><title>The fastest growing tree in the world is the Eucalyptus.
