High in the mountains, where in the winter the temperature rarely rises, stands a tree that is ancient and strong. This tree, though not tall, has been shaped by the wind and snow, surviving for thousands of years. Rooted in stone, its thick trunk spirals out of the ground, growing where nothing else can survive.
