The Ball, the Tree, and the Old Man is a lovely, heartwarming tale of young and old - bound to be enjoyed by the young and old. It tells of the value of relationships, the meaningfulness in sharing life with others. It shows how beautiful it can be to extend yourself for the sake of another, though it often comes at a cost. I found it delightful.
