Story Outline:

A young girl grew up like no other as a kindly Nature Mother.

Dame LaConk, her grown-up name, suits the wise and caring dame.

Her true name stays among her tales, hidden at a windy vale.

A large, grand acorn fills the space found between her waist and face.

Her adult clothes are plain and clean.

They cover skin of mossy green.

Story Opening:

A lost land past the Seesaw Sea has the name of Seldom See.

The land at such a far-off spot has been laid in many plots.

The plots, named Fussbut, have a strange name.

Fuss, but learn it just the same.

A girl at Seldom See's Gale Vale picked up leaves from hills and dales.

She played among the plants and trees and shared secrets with the bees.
