Stump is having a feeling. A feeling he calls ‘GREAT SADNESS’, because he used to live in the Big Tree, until a bolt of lightning struck him out. Poor Stump! He bravely tries to stick himself back onto the tree, but his twiggy friends have a different idea. They’ll help you out, Stump. That’s what twigs are for!
