Bike in the Tree

Child let me tell you of a man. He was brave and strong, tall and handsome and he loved his family. He rode his bike everywhere and one day he leaned that bike against the tree you see. It is said he made a bargain with a dryad, a secret bargain. What that bargain was I can not say but she wrapped his bicycle in her tree and never let it go.

How long ago you ask? One hundred years ago, can't you tell? How do I know? My dear child, I was that dryad and he was your father.
