The Snoring Tree
My friends, this story is made up by me. Do you like it? Can you make one up?”
Once upon a time there was a tree that snored. It was so loud that the whole world could hear it, even aliens from Mars! Everybody kept wondering, “How long is this going to last?” They made a plan. They said to the tree, “How do you stay awake for spring, summer, and fall, and sleep in the winter?”
“That would be fine,” said the tree, that’s why trees shed their leaves and go to sleep in the winter. If you put your ears to the ground, you’ll be able to hear them snore.
