Explanation
The trees are used by birds. They live in the trees and build their nests. Trees are used by children.
They love to make tree houses and use them as swings. Children love to play hide and seek behind the trees. Not just children, even grown ups have fun around the trees.
They have their tea parties under the shade of the trees. The strong winds that blow through the trees provide relief to passers-by. During extreme summers, trees provide shade.
During winters, trees do not provide shade and allow people to bathe in the sun. People get to eat delicious fruit like apples and pear. Trees are useful even when they are chopped down.
We get timber which is used to make furniture. To some, trees are like beautiful pictures that they would love to paint and to others they are profitable as even their shattered leaves could be put to great use.
