About This Book
A pair of gentle children's tales follows small barnyard creatures and a young apple tree as they learn quiet virtues. In the first story a pompous gander imposes a single loud way of speaking, disrupting the farm until a little brown hen, moved by the nightingale's song, demonstrates that attentive listening and steady attention to one’s own duties restore harmony. The second tale traces the apple tree's slow growth and the patient care that brings a rich, earned harvest. Together the stories emphasize humility, the value of listening, and the rewards of patience over showy noise.
