A tree fell down in the forest
And it did not make a sound
The other trees just sighed a bit,
And moved their leaves around
But one observant beetle
Crawled up from underground
And climbed atop the fallen tree
To see what it had found
It said, “Am I the only one
To chance upon this scene?
It truly seems like such a shame
You were so nice and green
.
.
Maybe you weren’t the tallest tree
.
That there has ever been
.
But you were good as any here
.
And you should have been seen.
.
.
Now you have fallen over
.
and no one heard you fall
.
That really is the modern curse
.
THE FOREST DWARFS US ALL
.
.
.
.
.
The bug then found a baby seedling
.
growing in the dirt
.
The insect had a yearning
.
To spare this seedling hurt
.
.
It said “I think you ought to know
.
That try hard as you might
.
There are a billion other trees
.
Competing for the light
.
.
.
.
.
.
But I believe in something
.
Even bigger than myself
.
I’ll stick by you the whole year through
.
And help you grow and grown
.
.
.
I’ll feed you and I’ll water you
.
And you will grow and grown
.
And you’ll become the tallest tree
.
This world has ever known
.
.
.
.
.
YEAH YOU’LL BECOME THE TALL-EST TREE. THIS WORLD HAS EVER KNOWN!!!

The insect and the seedling
.
Two small forces, combined

Up next: the tale of how the duo
.
stopped the forest fire.
