Prompt 2: Tree
A Transylvanian Roma folktale says in the old days trees could walk.
A rich man once saw a beautiful old oak, and ordered it to follow him home, to be cut up as firewood. Then he ordered the tree to carry him and his food along the way. Then ordered it to steal the bell from the church tower, just because.
At that point, lightning struck, and God decided trees should not walk and obey people anymore.

@TarkabarkaHolgy did the lightning hit him?
@TarkabarkaHolgy that seems rather unfair on the poor tree!
@afewbugs Him and the tree, but the church bell remained intact...
