SIDE 1

OTTO

One summer day, in Frog Creek, Pennsylvania, a mysterious tree house appeared in the woods
 

SAPLINGS

Really! How did it appear? Who put it here? And what does it do? And
 

STUMP

Okay, that s it! New Forest Rule. Scrawny little sapling trees only get to ask one question during story time.
 

OTTO

Now, now, remember Stump, you were once a curious little sprout, too.
 

STUMP

(sarcastic)
Yeah, yeah, yeah, and all the world was new.

ALL TREES

(overlapping)
Oh, Stump! Don t be such a grump. Yeah! Don t be such a grump!

STUMP

Listen, I may be a leafless, trunkless, old tree stump, but I do know one thing: if you re going to tell a good story, you can t go skipping ahead to the end! And we ll never get to the end if we don t ever get to the beginning, so please, Otto, my main Oak, on with the show!
