Mandrake
This is the story of a man, who is not a man, but a tree that wanted to become a man. It was the love of a girl who planted the tree in her small garden that became it's reason becoming a man.
But even as he walked and talked like a man, he could not make her see the love that he had for her that made him a man.
The girl would soon love another, a real man and the tree that became a man, would fall from his grief. As all men already know, that no man cannot slay the demon within, it is pride, and it will consume the tree that became a man, for if he shall not have his bride, then no man shall.
