Excerpt from Nature Stories for Little Folk: The Crooked Oak Tree, the Life of a Dragon Fly

Every Spring the sunbeams stroked the brown buds with their soft, warm fingers, till the little green leaves peeped out, and smiled to see the dancing shadows play hide and seek with the ¿ickering sunshine, slowly the leaves grew each year, drinking in the air and sunshine, till in the Autumn they changed to red and yellow, and covered the branches witha blaze of colour.
