The Scariest Tree

I'm only 4 and three foot tall and the world is a scary old space Me and my mates know of a place where the scariest tree stands tall. Over the farmers gate across by the lake stands the scariest tree in the world . The trunk of the tree leans towards me, and splits at the top to make two long arms . Now as the sun sets and it catches the light it looks like its coming for me . I sprint for the gate before its to late as the scariest tree reaches out . Back home safe at last with tales to tell dad I sit down for a well deserved tea , I then play some games and watch the TV and before long its bed time for me, I fall fast asleep and this is the time the scariest tree gets me. true story over the fields at the end of my street . cheers

Great narrative about childhood helplessness and the fear that can loom in innocuous objects. Kids understand that Nature can be scary. Maybe it's because they are small and have few victories under their belt.
