 * __Philosophical Questions:The Giving Tree__**

//**Topic: Giving**

The tree keeps on giving to the boy until it has nothing left to give. The boy on the other hand does not give anything to the tree.//


 * 1) Is the boy selfish? Why? What about the tree, is the tree selfish?
 * 2) Why do you think the tree is not happy after giving her trunk?
 * 3) Have you ever given something away and later wished that you didn’t?


 * Topic: Happiness**

The tree is not really happy after giving the boy her trunk.


 * 1) Is the boy happy at the end of the story?
 * 2) Is the tree happy?
 * 3) Do you need a reason to be happy (e.g. something good happens), or can you be happy without a reason?
 * 4) Can you be happy and sad at the same time?
