Afternoon sun at the maple grove
![Page 37: Cabane à sucre chez Schauer](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022081414/54ba40ba4a7959f9098b4628/html5/thumbnails/37.jpg)
All this thanks to the sun:Her rays plus chlorophyll and water makes the carbohydrates to grow,
to be stored in the roots over winter,dead and frozen until spring,
when the sun unfreezes the ground,turns the starch into sugar,
sucks it up the tree, so we can drill a hole,
send it to our hut in the tubes, boil the hell out of it,
reduce it 35 : 1,put into cans
and offer you this gift from the sun!
