Hmm, I’m not sure how I feel about this… but I do like the use of the word “felled” in the first sentence.
AMSTERDAM – An Amsterdam resident has put for sale on eBay a chestnut that he says came from the tree that Anne Frank gazed upon while hiding from the Nazis, as activists fight to save the diseased tree from being felled. “I had this idea for a few years, then I saw that the tree was in the news and I decided to put the chestnut up for auction,” said 34-year-old Charles Kuijpers, who lives next door to the garden where the tree stands.
