A shepherd who plants trees. The article "The Shepherd Planting Trees" was written by the French writer Jean Giorno at 1953 at the request of an American magazine. He is the most extraordinary and unforgettable person he has ever met. In the original text, the author describes a shepherd who lives alone in the mountains of Provence. Through nearly half a century of persistent afforestation, he turned the mound into an oasis, which proved that lonely people can also find happiness.
