Once, long ago, <\/p>\n\n\n\n

in a far away land,<\/p>\n\n\n\n

across the Great Desert, <\/p>\n\n\n\n

and hot burning sands,<\/p>\n\n\n\n

lived a boy who was sad,<\/p>\n\n\n\n

as sad as could be,<\/p>\n\n\n\n

for he lived in the top of an enormous,<\/p>\n\n\n\n

tall tree.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWait!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

You might say,<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThis does not ring true!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What could cause such a boy to be blue?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

To live at the top of the greatest of trees?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

To enjoy all the sights that tree people see?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

To be safe from the critters that crawl and that creep?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

To look from above at the world down beneath?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What could be better than living like this?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Such a life would be filled with bliss!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

And what you say is undoubtedly right,<\/p>\n\n\n\n

that is unless you\u2019re afraid of heights!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
