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.
