A Jewish Priest.

A Jewish priest named James teaches and prays in the local synagogue. He spends the first 70 years of his life living the best life he can while getting as close to god as possible. James knows his life is drawing to an end and he feels god wants him to do more so he asks the other members of the church what he should do. One member, a young lady named Samantha told James she had been given the same message and that she was wanting to venture into a far away town to spread the teachings of the Jewish faith. James agreed to accompany her on this journey. After 3 years of traveling they had finaly traveled far enough to spread the message of Jewdaism around them. It took 7 more years of teaching for James to grow tired again. By this point James was old. 80 years, and not many left in this life time. He grew restless needing to do more with his life. He asked around the community again but found no solace In any of the ideas he heard. Until one day a mysterious man walked into his synagogue. The man was old but not as old as James. Perhaps 60 or so. He collapsed onto the pew closest to the front. James hurried over to see the man, and realized he was very pale, sickly, and weak. "What's wrong dear man? Why do you look so shabby?" The man opened his eyes a little and said "I have to keep going..... I have to find them. God told me too!" James was very confused, "what do you need to find? What is it?" The man opened his eyes very wide and said, "The trax! You must find the Trax Tree! The... the fruit of... the...." The man faded off, his eyes signaling sleep was coming, and fast James ran to get some water and splashed it on the man's face. He sat up a little and gasped "THE TRAX! FIND IT! PLEASE! IT'S OUR ONLY HOPE!" the man said, using every drop of energy he had. He slipped off into a very deep sleep that he could not be woken from. James knew this was a message from god. He gathered his things, and set off to find the Trax, whatever it was. It took him a full month to find anyone who knew what he was talking about. "It's at the top of this mountain old man, but you'll never make it there. And even if you did you'd never get a piece of its fruit. It's guarded you know. You'll die first." James did not like this man, he thought he was a pessimist that lacked faith. James wanted to be gone from this small town and get the Trax, so he set off up the mountain It was a hard climb that took James nearly a week to complete. He could've made it sooner but, he was no young man anymore. He crested the last hill and saw what he was looking for. A massive tree bearing large blue and purple fruit, with bright red stems. He saw perfection in those fruit. This tree had been sent from God himself, he knew it. As James approached the tree a harsh laugh echoed in the valley around him. A large troll walked out from behind the tree brandishing a long heavy club. He looked at James and declared: "YOU CAN NOT HAVE ANY OF THESE FRUIT PUNY HUMAN! HA HA HA!" " I've spent the last part of my life searching for this Tree. Why can I not have a piece?" James asked desperately:
