Fruits grow on trees, we know it very well, but what if we say there is such a tree on which a bicycle has grown. Look at this picture below, of course, this bicycle has not grown on this tree, but how did it get stuck in this tree trunk? The story behind this incident is quite shocking. This bicycle can be seen embedded in a tree trunk on Vashon Island, Washington.
About this Bicycle, there is a story that is quite popular on the internet which tells that in 1914 during World War 1, a boy went off to war and left his bicycle leaned against a tree and never returned, as a result of which the tree embedded the bicycle inside it. But this story seems to be totally fake, as the USA entered World War 1 in 1917, not 1914 and they also never sent boys off to war.
The real story associated with this incident dates back to the 1950s, which is quite sad. It is a matter of that time when a boy named Don Puz lived on that island. But one day such a tragedy happened to his family that the house where Puz used to live in was burnt down, causing his father to die. After which the people around there came together and donated various items to get the family going again and Puz also received this bicycle as a donation. Puz used to roam the whole island riding this bicycle, but still, he didn’t like this so much.

During that time, there used to be a swampy area around this tree, so once Puz's bicycle got stuck in that swamp while playing with a gang of his friends, which he simply left there and went home and never bothered to get it back. Later, he and his family shifted somewhere else and the bicycle remained there. Today this bicycle has been trapped in this tree in such a way that it seems that the bicycle has grown on this tree.
