WILEY WILLOW

Stupid twofoots! Coming, bold as you please. You don't fool Old Man Willow by climbing up on fourfoots. We know who you are. Oh yes.

No axes this time? Very stupid. Think you're so clever, but you can't outfox us. We know your kind. You plant hedges and burn our younglings, but I was master here long before you planted your tall grasses and dug your holes. We were dug deep before even sun and moon.

This path, now. Come on. Not that way. Yes. You can't even guess, can you? Old Man Willow will show you, though. Yes, indeed.

That gnarly old tree with a black heart. Still, he's right about planting hedges and burning the younglings, so perhaps he has a point.

*agrees with Erulisse that Old Man Willow might have a point* Still, finding safer trees to hug would be good.
