<h1>The Old Man who planted oak trees in Oak</h1>
A young traveler was exploring the Alps. He came upon a vast stretch of barren land. It was desolate. It was the kind of place you hurry away from.
A young traveler exploring in the Alps. He came to an endless barren pool, deserted, a place that made people eager to leave.
Then, suddenly, the young traveler stopped dead in his tracks. In the middle of this vast wasteland was a bent-over old man. On his back was a sack of acorn. In his hand was a four-foot length of iron pipe.
Later, the young traveler suddenly stopped. I saw an old man bending down to sow seeds in the middle of the vast wasteland. He carried a large bag of acorns and a 4-foot-long iron pipe in his hand.
The old man was using the iron pipe to punch holes in the ground. Then from the sack he would take an acorn and put it in the hole. Later the old man told the traveler, "I've planted 100,000 acorns. Perhaps only tenth of them will grow." The old man's wife and son had died, and this was how he chose to spend his final years. "I want to do something useful," he said.
The old man used the iron pipe to make a hole in the ground, and then took an acorn from the bag and put it in the hole. Later, the old man told the traveler that I had planted 100,000 acorns. Only about one-tenth of an acorn can grow. "The old man's wife and children are dead, and that's one way he chooses to spend his old age." I wanted to do something meaningful he said.
Twenty-five years later the now-not-as-young traveler returned to the same place. What he saw amazed him. He could not believe his own eyes. The land was covered with a beautiful forest with two miles wide and five miles long. Birds were singing, animals were playing, and wild flowers Perfumed the air.
Twenty-five years later, the traveler, who is no longer young, is revisiting the same place. But the scene in front of him was amazing. He couldn't believe his eyes. That land is covered with beautiful forests that are 5 miles long and 2 miles wide. There, birds sing, animals frolic, wildflowers waft.
The traveler stood there recalling the desolation that once was; a beautiful oak forest stood there now - all because someone cared.
The traveler stood there, remembering its former desolation; A beautiful oak forest now stands there because of someone's concern.
