a big, towering tree

[Ashiuhto]

Would anyone be kind enough to check the following paragraph for me? Thanks!

The dandelion was blown to a city that has pollution troubles. It saw a little tree lamenting about her wretched lot, so he asked her “Why do you look so sad?” “I want to grow into a big, towering tree,” The little tree answered and began to sob out her sad story. “However, I think it impossible to realize my dream because I am grown in this polluted, barren land.” “Believe yourself. Never give up, and your dream will come true sooner or later.” The dandelion said. “Really? Can I do it?” the little tree stopped crying and surprisingly asked. “Yes, I have confidence in you.” The dandelion said. “Thank you. I will overcome.” the little tree said happily.
