Tommy Smith knew that it was not the trees who were singing, but the birds in them. TOMMY SMITH KNEW THAT IT WAS NOT THE TREES WHO WERE SINGING BUT THE BIRDS IN THEM
ow do you do?’_” WHAT could be more beautiful than the woods that fine spring morning on which Tommy Smith walked through them? The sky was blue, and the air was soft, and the birds were singing everywhere. There was a concert, surely; the trees had given it. That is what came into Tommy Smith’s head, and perhaps he was right. It is in spring that the season begins. Then ladies and gentlemen dress themselves finely, and come and stand together in a crowd, and there is talking, and laughing, and singing. And here in the woods the trees had all put on fine new dresses of bright green, for _their_ season of spring had come, and green was the fashionable colour. _They_ stood together too,—ever so many of them,—and bent their heads towards each other, and seemed to be whispering. Then their leaves rustled, which was a much pleasanter sound than ladies’ and gentlemen’s talking and laughing (though perhaps it did not mean _quite_ as much); and, oh! what beautiful sounds came from their midst.
