It sounds like a very interesting play and I'll tell you a little bit about it. It starts off with three whispering pines that lived on a hill. One day an angel came and showed them a list of things she had to do. The next day a woodchopper came and cut down all the trees to sell for Christmas. He had to go home and get some rope for dragging the trees home and while he was gone the angel came back and gave them feet and they ran away. Can THEY WERE BITING — Shelly Tomes and Debbie Hodgson participated in a fish pond of Saturday's Centralia UCW bazaar. T -A photo you guess what happened next?
