When i was little, my grandparents had a weeping willow tree in their yard. And i always asked them why it was called a weeping willow . And they told me that weeping ment crying. So when i was allowed to go outside and play i would always run up to the tree and hug it and say don't cry be happy. My grandparents always were confused why i did it until i told them one day when i was 14. I relized it wasn't crying.
