The Story of the Walnut Tree "This is the true story of a man who loves trees, and plants them all around his house. Over time, most of the trees grow tall and beautiful. Only the walnut tree is still small. When the man's children complain that the walnut tree is not beautiful, fun, or useful, the man uses the opportunity to teach them lessons about life. One day, the walnut tree dies and the man finds a way to put it to use. The man in the story, of course, is President Gordon B. Hinckley."
