The death wish [part three]

And so the next day, there was no advising, no surprise parties, instead, the willow dedicated to give away his belongings to everyone he knew, after giving his last windilopeg to the pink screw, and the only last red rose to the crow, and giving away all of its dear swelldos to all of the red oaks, he was done. Everyone had seemed to appreciate it, but none quiet understood what was happening, was the willow moving to another place? Was he clearing space for new things? None at the whole jungle could get it. No other person had ever done that.

"What's all this?" asked the fox
"Well i'm giving away some of my belongings" said the willow
"I know, i've noticed, but, why?" Asked the confused fox
"I just have to finish some businesses before I depart" said the willow in that determinant voice of his
"To where? are you leaving us? I don't understand"
"Its simple my time has came, I no longer want to keep going" said the willow
"Time to what?"
"To die"
"That's nonsence, trees can live forever" said the fox
"I just think it is time" said the willow
"So are you sure of this? because there is by definition no turning back"
"I couldn't say I am sure" said the now undecided tree

And so the days went by and the tree had not yet came to a final decision, but anyways, he had not seen the raven in a while. And in the days he thought a lot, about life and death, about existence and about purpose. "I have done all I can really do in life can't I?" he said to himself, to then answer "But if I'm still supposed to do more things?" And so he went on in an endless debate with himself.

And again in one of those nights were the moon only showed a single star, the raven appeared again, and this time the willow was ready, they stayed in silence for a long time, the only sound that could be lisented in the whole jungle was the one of the growing grasses.

"Are you ready to take it?" asked the raven in the same tone, as if he had asked him that all eternity.
"I want to live" said the willow
"But this is what you want, you called for it" said the raven
"But I didn't, I just want to be here, living" said the willow
"You have been here way too long " said the raven
"I feel like i still have things to do, time is not a problem"
"Time is not what i mean" said the confusing bird
"then what is you point? why do you say I want to die?"
"Simple, you have been around too long, you asked for this, i brought it to you"
"I never asked for this!"
"You say you want to live, you keep holding to that thought, but you stopped living a while ago"
"What do you mean? I am here ain't I?"
"Every living thing has a death wish, which they are all taught to fear, to avoid. But they all just hope for peace and rest" said the raven
"But, i'm alife, i'm here and I don't want to die" said the now terrified tree
"How can you be alife without death?"
