right side of the clearing. And a very large hollowed tree towers over the clearing. It is very late in the night, but the moon is full and illuminating the clearing. ELIZA WISHART is sitting in front of the tree with her head on her knees. She is holding a small pocket knife. The word “sorry” has been carved into the bottom of the tree. ELIZA: I’m sorry, I’m so sorry Laura; this is all my fault. I followed you here, I watched you climb the tree and I watched you jump. I saw the rope being…

"We get it on most every night, When that moon is big and bright, It's a supernatural delight, Everybody's dancing in the moonlight" It was the culmination of two things that really shouldn't mix. Work and a relationship. This pleasant fiasco set to King Harvest's glorious keyboard work and mindless lyrics. King Harvest is considered a one hit wonder, and in a way we were too.

that you could be friends. Well that is what the tree in “The giving tree is doing.” From what the book had said the tree desired to have someone to be friends with so she gave him everything to be friends.

In the middle of autumn I decided to take a walk in the woods behind my house. I wandered and wandered and, soon enough, I was hopelessly displaced. I saw this huge pond about 70 yards in front of me. I had never seen it before; so I decided to go investigate. When I got up to the pond I realized there was a whole Native American civilization that had once lived here. There were 25 huts, spread out on the banks of the pond, and piles of wood, fire dig outs, broken pottery and arrowheads…
