When I was young, there was a fig tree in my yard, and each July was the harvest season and happy time for my family. At that time, my neighbors were invited to share the delicious and nutrient figs. My grandma would have some figs in the sun for several days and to make sure we could have dried figs in the other seasons. Because the fig tree was besides window, with its increasing height, it impacted the light to house, so my grandpa decided to cut it down. I was sad a pretty long time for it.
