(sarcastic)Yeah, yeah, yeah, and all the world was new.
ALL TREES
(overlapping)Oh, Stump! Don t be such a grump. Yeah! Don t be such a grump!
STUMP
Listen, I may be a leafless, trunkless, old tree stump, but I do know one thing: if you re going to tell a good story, you can t go skipping ahead to the end! And we ll never get to the end if we don t ever get to the beginning, so please, Otto, my main Oak, on with the show!SIDE 2
