Speaking Transcript

Show the Text

Indeed, there’s a remarkable tale from my locality. Centuries ago, a gigantic tree stood at the heart of our town. The residents held a belief that the tree had mystical powers capable of fulfilling their desires. People travelled from far and wide to make a wish under its sprawling branches. A violent storm hit the town one day, and lightning struck the tree, causing it to fall. Astonishingly, even after this catastrophic event, the tree continued to flourish. It remains in our town to this day, with people still visiting it to make wishes. The tale adds a unique charm to our locality.
