Excerpt: ... colleagues; and I think that, next to ourselves, the oldest and the worthiest and the one that owns the best club is the Beech.... THE BEECH You know I am worm-eaten and my club is no longer to be relied upon.... But the Elm and the Cypress have powerful weapons.... THE ELM I should be only too pleased; but I can hardly stand upright.... A mole twisted my great toe last night.... THE CYPRESS As for me, I am ready....

Even those unprotected and unarmed little children inspire you with the mysterious terror which has always made us the slaves that we are!... Enough of this! Things being as they are and the opportunity unequalled, I shall go forth alone, old, crippled, trembling, blind as I am, against the hereditary enemy!... Where is he?... (Groping with his stick, he moves towards TYLTYL.) TYLTYL (taking his knife from his pocket) Is it me he's after, that old one, with his big stick?... ALL THE TREES (uttering a cry of alarm at the sight of the knife, they step in between and hold back the OAK) The knife!... Take care!... The knife!... THE OAK (struggling) Let me be!... What does it matter?... The knife or the axe!... Who's holding me back?... What! Are you all here?... What! You all want to.... (Flinging down his stick) Well, so be it!... Shame upon us!...

Read it, enjoy it and go for it.
