The Wooded Hills
The Tree-dwellers needed a place where they could be safe from the wild animals.
So they lived among the tall trees.
They needed to be near fresh water.
So they lived by trees along the river.
They needed to be where they could find roots and berries.
“The wooded hills”
Down in the river valley most of the forests were dense.
The sun could not shine through the thick leaves of the trees.
There was not enough sunlight to make the roots and berries grow.
| Acorns |
There were not many nuts and acorns on the trees.
So the Tree-dwellers could not live there.
Out on the grassy plains there were no trees.
The Tree-dwellers could not live there.
Near the head of the river valley there were hills and uplands.
|
Wild roots were used for food |
The forests there were not so dense.
The sun could shine through the open spaces.
Many roots and berries grew there.
On the wooded hills near the head of the valley was a good place for the Tree-dwellers to live.
They could be safe in the tall trees.
They could get fresh water from the river.
They could find nuts and acorns on the trees.
They could find roots and berries in the open spaces.
