When I was in grade one (I am in grade five now) the school gave us each a little baby pine tree. I loved it very much and after it got to big for the pot it was in we went and planted it in my grandparent's garden. After a few years it got to big for the tiny spot in the garden that we planted it in so my grandparent's and my family decided to plant it right behind our fence that surrounds our backyard (so we didn't plant it in our yard but behind the fence). After a year I thought that nothing bad was going to happen to it because nothing happened so far. But I was wrong. Today when my mom and I were walking back from my school's 'Parent Teacher Interview' where parents go to the school to talk to the teacher about how their kids are doing we were just about to go down the sidewalk beside our house when my mom said that the tree was gone. I looked and sure enough it was no where to be seen. Finally my mom nudged me and told me to look in a huge pile of dirt. There sticking out of the side of the big pile of dirt, all mangled and broken, was my baby tree. The night before bull-dozers were bull-dozing(sp?) behind our house because they had to did a trench for the huge amount of water stuck on the sidewalk to move into the grass. Sure enough they bull-dozed right over my little tree. They could have easily gone around it but they didn't. I am half way to crying because I loved that tree and I hoped that it would grow up to be big and strong. I phoned my grandpa and he said that he was going to phone the city and complain. (By the way I live in St.Albert, Alberta.)
I just can't believe that people would actually bull-doze over a baby tree hardly taller than a meter with no care whatsoever! They had no right to do that!
