THE YOUNG AND PRODIGIOUS T.S. SPIVET( short 24/50 )

Don't answer the question...It's part of the story...

Sorry!

Then the first snows came.The sparrow took a last chance with the pine tree, who said: I can't offer you much protection, I only have needles that let in draft But my answer is ... Yes.

Overjoyed, the sparrow took refuge there and you know what?

He survived the winter.The children returned and wept tears of joy.Upon seeing this, the Creator decided to punish all the other trees for their selfishness.From that day on, every tree lost it's leaves in winter, except the pine, who saved the sparrow.My grandmother told me this story.

Had you ever heard it before?You can answer now.Story is finished!

The story is very pretty.

But, the insulating properties of pine needles could not release the heat to create a warm enough cocoon for a bird the size of a sparrow.

Your grandmother lied to you.

So where were you headed, T.S. ?

To buy me a hot dog.

The old sea dog!

Captain's Choice!..

Quickly, it close in fifteen minutes.

Bye, Sparrow!..

See you, Bye!

I'm sure you will find your tree.

You too!
