Spirit of the Leafy Woods

Is spirit of the leafy woods a he or a she?
Does it matter? Asked the sage mushroom.
Just curious, said the neonate elf. 
Why?
I do not know.

The sage mushroom smiled at the neonate elf.
Shes and hes are more alike than different, right?
Both hes and shes have feelings.
Both hes and shes have thoughtfulness.
Both hes and shes help out the woods. 
That is true, replied the neonate.

Ah, so true. Why do we make such a thing of gender, when we all have "feelings." I liked this one, Caren.
