The tree man - that is a man who is also a tree not to be confused with a man who carries or sells trees - carried on with his tree man tasks.
"What tasks?" I hear you ask.
A number of duties fall to a tree man, providing shade in sun fairing days and shelter from windy nights, for example.
They stand in as obstacles for impromptu races and occasionally lend a hand for someone seeking a high five, but sadly are alone.
Yes, a tree man's work is as multifaceted.
And they live very long, tree men do. Because of this, they deliver messages to the great grand kids long after the great grandparents are gone; yet another important task we often forget.
"Well Gruncle Norman loved to hike, but an unfortunate limp made it difficult for him to do so. So he saw fit to help himself to one of my low hanging branches, to fashion himself a walking stick . . . we were not a fan of Gruncle Norman."
Take note, Tree men can carry grudges a lot longer than most any other living things . . .
