Day in and day out, a tree watches over a hardworking farmer’s daughter.

* The tree becomes attached to the farmer’s daughter, who visits the creek each evening and talks beneath his branches.
* During a sweltering summer day, she undresses and pleasures herself beneath the tree, trusting him to shelter her and keep watch.
* While the farmer’s daughter is away, her father sells the dying tree for its wood.
* The willow is felled, cut apart, and transported away from the farm.
* Years later, the basket maker weaves the willow into a living wicker husband.
* The wicker husband marries the woman chosen for him and faithfully cares for her, repairs her home, and satisfies her desires.
* The villagers become jealous and suspicious of their marriage, eventually turning his wife against him.
* His wife casts him out and sets him on fire.
* Believing he is dying, he follows the river back toward the farm where he once stood.
