Verytired

- "I wish I could give you something ...

but I have nothing left.

I am just an old stump.

I am sorry ..."

- "I don't need very much now,"said the boy,

"just a quiet place to sit and rest.

I am very tired.

- "Well," said the tree,

straightening herself up as much as she could,

"Well an old stump is good for sittingand resting.

Come,boy,come,sit down."
