the shade from the tree from TanTan. The shade from the tree grew all over the yard and house of TanTan. Eventually Ping was everywhere TanTan was. TanTan grew tired of this and moved away.

I think the lesson in this book is that all the money in the world cannot buy you happiness and it is better to have friends and share. Show Less
