An Old Olive Tree's Story

SLAVONSKI BROD - Učenici osnovne škole Ivan Goran Kovačić iz Slavonskog Broda s učenicima iz Ein Ganim, Izrael surađuju na projektu
"Olives in Israel & Croatia" (Masline u Izraelu i Hrvatskoj).

Na naslovnici dizajniranoj tako da klikom na maslinu s napisanim pojmom otvarate priloge učenika, možete saznati puno toga o maslinama ali pročitati i zanimljive pričice poput ove koju je napisala Dora iz I.G.K. škole: U čvorovima stare masline usamljeni ljudi su počeli ostavljati telefonske brojeve. I tako je stara maslina postala 'love mail box'...


An Old Olive Tree's Story

I am an Olive Tree. Not just the normal Olive Tree. I`m very, very old. I don't remember when I was born. But I remember something about my past and I'll tell you, also, about my present time.

I'm from Croatia and when I was younger, beautiful queens and kings were sitting under my branches. They would take some of my fruits, so I was their shade and modest olive supply.

And the years and centuries have fled, I'm still here. Now, I am an old olive tree. But not the ordinary olive tree. Croats have transformed me into a mail box; Love mail box. Lonely people write love letters. They put their phone numbers, at the bottom. They hide letters in my holes or in the branches. So, other people come to search those letters. If the sender is the opposite sex, a founder calls him or her. They arrange a date. So, I know, their love will be long-lasting as me...
