Short object lesson story for preschoolers.
Once upon a time, in a lovely little park, there was a friendly apple tree named Abby. Abby had big, strong branches, a tall trunk, and yummy apples. Every day, a little boy named Ollie played near Abby. They became best friends!
One sunny day, Ollie asked Abby, “Can I have some apples, please?” Abby happily gave him some. Ollie loved the apples and thanked her with a big smile.

Later, Ollie asked, “Abby, can I have branches for a fort?” Abby gave him branches, and Ollie built a fun fort to play in.
Ollie kept asking Abby for more things. One day, he wanted her trunk to make a boat!
A kind bird named Sona lived in Abby’s branches. Sona reminded Abby, “You are special even without giving things away. Abby felt better.
When Ollie came back, Abby said, “Ollie, I found a strong branch for your boat!” Ollie was happy to have a boat, and Abby was happy to keep her trunk.
Abby the Apple Tree learned a valuable lesson. She realized that while helping friends is nice, it’s equally important to take care of yourself. Just like her branches and trunk needed to grow and stay strong, she understood that she needed to balance her generosity with self-care.
And so, Abby, Ollie, and Sona lived happily together, sharing, caring, and playing under the apple tree in their lovely little park.

Abby the Apple Tree learned that helping friends is nice, but it’s also important to take care of yourself.
