#The Ancient Friendship Between The Willow And The Stream

Many legends tell of the birth of the name "weeping willow"
One of these tells of how the willow, always a tree with beautiful branches directed upwards, befriended a stream that began to tell him about the world and life and all the things his current could know traveling incessantly for many miles . One day they both heard woodcutters who wanted to cut the willow because of its great beauty and together they studied a ploy to escape the danger: the willow began to bend downwards, leaning forward until it touched the water of the river and began to lower all the branches and all the branches to look as sad as possible. The woodcutters, in fact, as soon as they saw this sudden change, decided not to cut the tree because in that position so "weeping" it had to be necessarily sick or cursed.

I love this tree, I see less and less in the areas close to me and I'm sorry ... this meeting was magical, by the lake
