"I must arise," the acorn thought, and up the living plant came, up
into the world of sunshine and beauty. It looked around. There was the
same green moss in the woods; it could hear the same singing brook.
"Now I know that I shall live and grow," it said.
"Yes," rustled the mother oak, "you are now an oak tree. This is your
real life."
And the little oak tree was glad, and stretched higher and higher
toward the sun.
