Those are some awesome stories already, thanks to everyone for sharing! Very fun to read. I just love how in these kinds of games, we all play the same game and yet everyone can have a completely different experience. Though I must admit that there were suprisingly few trees so far ;)
I'll add one thing: I once had this iconic moment when a bird randomly flew right into my axe as I was about to chop something and I killed it. You often see this on youtube but I believe it took about a year of playtime for me to happen, actually felt like some kind of achievement that you have to had once or you haven't finished the game...
