When purchasing a home and writing an offer, it’s important for a Buyer’s Agent to include subjects in order to protect the buyer.

The book opens with scenes of childhood happiness. The boy plays with the tree every day: running, climbing, swinging, pretending. They are happy. Then a few pages after, it said “But time went by.” The boy only had a slight smile where he nostalgically remembers his happy childhood days with the tree. As the boy continues to age, he no longer played with the tree. The tree asks the boy to come and play “and be happy” but the boy is “too big,” or “too busy,” or “too old and s
