acacia tree

Who remembers the huge acacia tree in the far back yard of Grandma's house?
We would climb it to the top except for me who is scared of hieghts. One day Tom and Peter tried to prove who was a better tree-climber. Tom went way up so Pete tried to follow. Of course, Pete being 5 years older and bigger than Tom put more weight on the upper and thinner branches. The highest branch he stood on (and did a Tarzan dance) promptly snapped and he bounced off a number of branches and limbs as he crashed unharmed, except for a cut lower leg, to the ground. I can see it now as if it just happend.
