Trees for Tomorrow

Argentina, [1968-1969]

Mr. Brown, owner of the farm, gave us a wonderful present. Eighty sprouts of trees. Our teachers explain to us how we must plant them. Let’s get to work! In a few years we will walk in the shadow of beautiful paradises. But – I say to my mother – when these trees are grown, I will not be in school anymore. That is indeed true – said my mother – but it is also nice to sow things so that others can enjoy them.
