I am a tree in a story about a forest.

Sometimes I think I'm a tree in a story

about a tree. 

[I'm not.]

"...& he said to me that I am a tree

 in a story about a forest, 

& it is arrogant of me to believe any differently. 

He told me that 

the story of the forest 

is better than the story of the tree. "
