Think about someone you love.

It could be a family member or friend, maybe even a pet or a teddy bear.

When we love someone, it can be hard to be away from them.

And in today's story, we'll meet two people who love each other so very much.

They find a way to stay together forever.

I'm Rebecca Shear, and welcome to Circle Round, where story time happens all the time.

Today, our story is called The Tree of Love.

Versions of this tale come from ancient Greece.

Some really great people came together to bring you our version of this tale,

including real-life couple Paige Davis and Patrick Page.

Broadway and TV star Paige Davis hosted the reality show Trading Spaces.

She was most recently seen off-Broadway in the hit play, Pen Pals. Patrick Page is starring in the Roundabout Theater Company production of Archduke in New York City. You grown-ups
