    " A pot of Black-berry jam"
    At first we were all growing in a lovely valley beside a lovely green ditch. We were all born at the same time and after a while white blossoms came on us and we were glad when our dress was changed but it was not long until it changed again and we were all looking at each other because no one of us saw our colours changing.
