The Crooked Tree

In another time,In another place...

1

...In a field long unattended2

grow many wild things3

and one crooked tree. 4

High on its hill, the Crooked Tree watches the little town below.

Many believe the tree is haunted,

7

especially on Halloween.

8

Parents warn their children not to wander too close.9

Or they may never be seen nor heard from again. 10

Today happens to be Halloween.11

And not all children believe in magical trees.12
