An alternate parody-ending to Shel Silversteen's The Giving Tree, part of the Topher Fixed It series for young people. Per the Author: Just read "The Giving Tree" as usual, right up to the point where the Boy comes hustling for a house. Then feel free to print these pages (available on the author's site) and read as an alternative to everything that follows. ​The alternate endings are available for you to print for free. If you enjoy them, I happily accept tips via PayPal, which helps keep the site going. (I'm a writer. I'm poor. But happy.) ​And I hope you'll learn more about The Atlanta Artist Relief Fund, which is providing crucial assistance to my colleagues during the COVID crisis.
