Once upon a time the forest was in a great commotion. Early in the evening / the wise old cedars had shaken their heads ominously and predicted strange / things. They had lived in the forest many, many years; but never had they / seen such marvellous sights as were to be seen now in the sky, and upon / the hills, and in the distant village.
"Pray tell us what you see," pleaded a little vine; "we who are not as / tall as you can behold none of these wonderful things. Describe them to / us, that we may enjoy them with you."
