The mango tree in our school

There are some trees in our school. Among them, there is a mango tree. The tree is front of our classroom.

Identification

The mango tree is very old. Maybe, it is the oldest tree at the school. The trunk is very big. It takes two children with arms outstretched to completely circle it. Surprisingly, it still bears a lot of fruit. No wonder, when mango season comes, my friend and I get excited. We all like to come to school really early so we can pick all the good ones. Before going home, we can not help taking a look at mouth watering sight on the tree, hoping that we might climb it again the next day.
