Joe and Emmy stared up at the crooked tree. It was fascinating to them. They were teased by the older children, saying they could climb it easily. “Looks like the letter “P’” Emmy remarked. “Yeah, it kinda does! And I think I could use those broken limbs to climb to the top! Give me a boost, Emmy, and I’ll try it.” Emmy cupped her hands next to the tree trunk for Joe, who grabbed onto the first sharp broken branch. He then sat down on the large arm of the tree limb. Looking down, Joe decided he was high enough.
