1When I was six, my grandfather Moshe took me to a hill near his moshav on Tu BiShvat. He carried a small olive tree in a pot, and I carried a of water that was almost as big as me.
2Grandpa a hole, and I put the tree inside. Together we the around it with our hands. "Why are we planting such a tiny tree?" I asked. "It will take years before it gives any olives." Grandpa laughed. "I'm not planting it for me," he said. "I'm planting it for you."
3I didn't understand what he meant. For the next few years we visited the tree every Tu BiShvat. Then Grandpa got older and found it hard to walk up the hill, and I got busy with school and friends. Slowly, I forgot about the tree.
4Last winter, when I was fifteen, I went back to the hill by myself. At first I couldn't find it. Then I saw it — taller than me, with a thick and leaves, and with a few small green olives on its .
5I took a photo and showed it to Grandpa. He looked at it for a long time and didn't say a word. Then he smiled. Now I finally understood him. This Tu BiShvat, I'm going to plant a tree with my little sister.
