(cover) with green buds and full of promise. The third son said it was laden with blossoms that smelled so sweet and looked so beautiful. The last son 6.( agree) with all of them. He said it was ripe and filled with fruit, full of life and fulfillment.
The man then explained to his sons that they were all right, because they had each seen but one season in the 7.(tree) life. He told them that you cannot judge a tree,8. a person, by only one season,and that the essence of who they are—the pleasure, joy, and love that come from that life—can only be judged at the end, when all the seasons are up.
