The Woman Who Looked Like A tree

From every direction, she looked like a tree. She tried to speak, but no-one would hear her. Every day she prayed for deliverance.
And then a handsome woodsman passed by and saw her. He admired her beauty, and caressed her.
“You,” he said, “will make a handsome addition to my household,” and swung his axe.
As she lay dying, she realised; she had never been a woman at all.
