In a small village in Japan, there is a magical legend. Long, long ago, a huge tree suddenly grew in the village. This tree was different from other trees. Its trunk was extremely thick and its branches and leaves were lush, like a giant green umbrella propped up in one corner of the village.
When the villagers discovered this tree, they were all very surprised. Everyone gathered around the tree and chattered away. The leaves of this tree were very strange, different from any leaves they had ever seen. The oldest man in the village said that in all his years, he had never seen such a tree. Just when everyone was puzzled, some fruits began to grow slowly on the tree. These fruits were shaped like bread and emitted an alluring fragrance.
A bold villager couldn't resist picking a fruit and tasting it. He found that the texture of the fruit was as soft and delicious as freshly - baked bread and was very filling. He told the other villagers this news, and everyone picked the fruits and ate them one after another. Since then, this breadfruit tree has become a treasure in the village.
The children in the village especially liked to play under the breadfruit tree. They played games and took shade under the tree. Whenever the fruits on the tree were ripe, the children would help the adults pick them. The fruits of the breadfruit tree not only saved the villagers from hunger but also brought endless joy to this small village.
Every time it was the breadfruit tree harvest season, the whole village was as lively as a festival. The villagers would hold grand celebration activities. Everyone would make various delicacies from the bread - like fruits and then sit around and share them. They were grateful for this magical breadfruit tree, which allowed them to live a happy life in this small village.
