I lie on the ground as the tree towers above me. It stretches up forever and ever, joined by its brethren around it. Far above me the limbs of the giant stretch out, lifting their green foliage up to the sun. A few rays of light peer through the green cover, golden shafts penetrating to the ground. The musty smell of the damp earth slips under my nose.
