Spiritual Walk Week 2 - In Jesus' Times

Story written from the perspective of a fictitious tree.
          I stand still and never move unless the wind moves me. I see and hear, but never speak. I eat, but don't have a mouth. People walk by me and tell me things because they don't think I can hear. All the others of my race tell me what others say. They tell me through the roots in the ground that are our ears and our mouths. 
          One friend told me about what happened in Mary's garden. I didn't believe him until he showed me what had happened with his own "eyes and ears". He even noticed a man named Philipus eavesdropping on Mary's conversation with the angel.
          One day some men walked past me on the way to the temple. I listened in on their conversation.
          "...woman Joseph is to marry is already pregnant." Said man #1
          "So, the rumors are true?" Said man #2
          "I hear that Joseph is going to divorce her quietly, so that he can preserve his dignity."
          A Month Later
          The same men passed by and decided to listen in on them again because their earlier conversation was interesting.
          "...not going to divorce her! I can't believe it, he says that God gave her the baby and she didn't lay with another man or with him." Said man #1
          "God gave her the baby? Of course God gave her the baby, the only way a woman would become pregnant is if God would allow her to have a baby!" Said man #2
         "I know that, but he said it differently, as if she was still a virgin--"
         "Blasphemy! How can she still be a virgin if she is pregnant? Are you stupid or what?"
         "I know...but it doesn't hurt to wonder..."
