The Tree and the Cat

A Soviet short about a tree that was was completely indifferent to the rest of the world. It didn't bother anything, and nothing bothered it. That is, until a cat show up and asks it why it doesn't talk to anybody. The tree replies that it is because it doesn't need anybody. The cat then asks if she can learn independence from it. The tree agrees and the cat stays to observe it. But instead of the cat learning to be independent, the tree learns to be more dependent towards others.
