But as he was working on it, day after day, the tree slowly changed, bit by bit. The pears grew bigger, and more heavy, and this caused the branches to bend more too. With thin rope and wire, he tried to pull the branches back up. To reconstruct the initial pear tree, the way it ought to be. But then the light became different too as the summer was progressing... and so on. At some point, I guess you have to give up on that perfect image from the past that's still inside your head...
