Ghost of Anne Frank Protects “Uber-Tree”

A diseased and dying tree is being coddled and protected at all costs because it was mentioned a couple of times in “Anne Frank’s diary”.

Quoting CNN:

“The 150-year-old tree was due to be chopped down after experts determined it could not be rescued from the fungus and moths that caused more than half its trunk to rot.”

Apparently, it has been linked to magical healings and miracles in the community¹. Rabbi Jacobs of a nearby synagogue was quoted as saying, “If this tree falls, the nazis will return and burn us all! Oy vey!”²

The point of my nastiness and sarcasm? IT’S A FREAKIN’ TREE, PEOPLE! LET IT DIE!

¹: This is not really true, but it makes the story sound more interesting.
²: This is a quote that I made up for the person I made up to support the abovementioned false story point.

Anne Frank’s tree spared the chop
