The children watch the following presentation while discussing the questions below. Through these questions the children find out that food is being transported to the "feet" (roots) of the trees who cannot move around and appreciate the wide scope of the name of The One Provider:
<<As the name of Inward suggests, the workbenches within trees are factories which produce all the parts and members of the trees, and manage and run them with the very finest balance. They despatch too with perfect regularity and order, the food and substances necessary for all the separate members. Those wondrous factories function with the speed of lightning, the ease of setting a clock, and the uniformity of commanding an army.>> excerpt from The Rays by Nursi Tree Drama This drama needs to be done in a large space that doesn’t consist desks. Prepare role-play cards before the class. Print Crust, Root and Leave printables with enough number. For example, if there are 20 children in the room, it is enough to print 4 roots, 6 crusts and 10 leaves printings. You can hang these printings to children’s neck after putting them in sheet protector and tieing up with a rope or without porinting out ,you can tell 4 of the children you are roots, 6 of them roots etc. Roots hold each other’s hands , begin to turn and say “ give us water dear God” Crusts hold hands in a circle shape around the roots and say “ save this tree dear God” leaves hold hands out of the circle,turn and say“send us food dear God” In this way, children animate the pray of a tree. <<Now the trees require a certain form of sustenance but have neither power nor will. They remain therefore in their places, trusting in God, and their provision comes hastening to them. So too the sustenance of infants flows to their mouths from wondrous small pumps, aided by the solicitude and tenderness of their mothers. Then when the infants acquire a little power and will, the milk ceases.>> excerpt from The Rays by Nursi Tree Hunting Aşağıdaki yaprak kartları eşliğinde çocuklar gruplar halinde bu yaprakların hangi ağaca ait olduğunu bulmaya çalışırlar. Her bir ağaç çeşidinin özel ölçülerle yaratıldığına dikkat çekilir. Choosing a "Sibling Tree" Çocuklar gruplar halinde ya da hepsi birlikte bir ağacı kardeş ağaç olarak seçerler. Yaratıcımız aynı olduğu için sadece insanlarla değil aslında tüm mahlukatla kardeşiz vurgusu yapılır. Çocukların yıl boyunca bu ağacın geçirdiği değişimleri gözlemlemesi sağlanır. Aşağıdaki Kardeş Ağaç Sertifikası gruplar tarafından doldurulur ve yıl boyunca saklanır. <<In Short: The origins of trees are coffers and programmes, their ends are instruction sheets and samples, their outer faces are artistically fashioned and embroidered garments, and their inner faces are factories and workbenches. These four aspects look to each other and as a whole form a supreme stamp. Indeed, a Greatest Name becomes apparent through them, for self-evidently none other than the Single Maker of Unity Who administers the whole universe could perform these works. Like trees, the origins, ends, and outer and inner faces of all animate creatures bear seals of Divine oneness and stamps of unity.>> excerpt from the Rays by Nursi
<<If all those acts of creation are not ascribed to that power, then the creation and administration of the single tree would be as difficult as the creation and administration of all trees, indeed, as the universe. For then everything would become obstacles and obstructions, and if all causes were to gather together, they could not send the necessary sustenance to the fruits, leaves, branches and twigs in orderly, regular fashion from the stomach and mainspring of a tree’s “knot of life,” which proceeds from command and will. Unless all the parts of the tree, and all its particles even, were given an eye, all-encompassing knowledge, and wondrous power which would see the entire tree together with its parts and particles, and know them and assist them.>> excerpt from the Rays by Nursi
